   The title pretty much says it.  I'm a new Unix sysadmin  and  I'm
   going  to have to hack sendmail.cf real soon now.  I can read man
   pages, but in this case I need a book to  get  started.   I  want
   technical information, not generalities:

If your mailer situation is simple enough (no oddball dec-20's to code
around, no vms gatewaying, connnections to not very many other sites)
and your load is not too enormous, then smail 3 is quite a reasonable
alternative to sendmail.  

configurations can be mercifully short and uncryptic.  adding and
subtracting ways of doing things is broken down reasonably well so
that you can make a change here without having to reconstruct the
entire configuratino.

If you don't already have a working sendmail configuration, I see no
reason to go and try to create one now.
