Summary: Very Outdated Book
Comment: This book is written for version 8.8 of sendmail. Sendmail went through some major changes with version 8.9 and these are not covered in this book. Also, the current version of Sendmail is 8.12.X.
Maybe the O'Reilly people should consider an update!

Summary: Important quick reference...
Comment: This is the quick reference guide to the larger tome _sendmail_ by Bryan Costales, et al. If you are an experienced Internet mail system administrator, you may be able to largely get by with using just this book, since it highlights the parts of the larger book that you would be most likely to use on a regular basis. However, if you need to go into any detail, of course you would also need the bigger book.
I have multiple copies of this book, and try to always have at least one copy that I carry around with me most anywhere -- you never know when you might run into a problem or be asked a related question to which you do not remember the answer off-the-top of your head, but which would be answered very quickly by thumbing through the quick reference.
I also have multiple copies of the bigger book, one at home, one at work, etc..., but you really don't want to carry such a monster volume around with you everywhere. However, you can do just that with this quick reference.
The most knowledgeable and experienced system administrators don't pretend to try to remember everything. What we do know is where to find the answers, and how to find them quickly. This is why we have whole bookshelves full of O'Reilly books like this.
Even Eric Allman and Bryan Costales don't remember every little detail about sendmail (the program) or about the various books, which is why they also keep multiple copies of these sorts of things.

Summary: Reads like a technical manual - what's the point?
Comment: I wasn't very happy with this book. It reads like a technical manual. Not very intuitive and is probably useful if you are already compitent with sendmail. If you are already compitent, what's the point? Was difficult to find even the simplest details on how to do something. Impossible to read cover to cover. Like reading an encrypted phone book.
