Rating: I agree with the first commenter. When I saw the assertion that sendmail 'by default allows open relaying', I turned to the front of the book to see when this book had been published. As a long term user/administrator of sendmail I knew that, even in March 2007, this 'default' action had been changed to prevent open relaying - at least in RedHat Enterprise Linux. As a user of both RedHat and Fedora Linux I found the examples for other distros arcane and confusing. I rather wish that I'd saved my money and bought some other title or a later version of one of the 1eds that I have.
