Overview
What is Sendmail?
Mail Transfer Agent
In depth
A closer look at Sendmail
Sendmail has a long-standing reputation for being an administrator's
nightmare -- hard to understand, tricky to configure, rife with security holes. As Internet technology and standards have stabilized,
however, many of the sendmail options and configurable rules that gave
rise to this reputation have ceased to require per-site tweaking (the
effective demise of non-TCP/IP network layers like UUCP has helped a
lot). Also, recent sendmail versions have an improved configuration
system that insulates you from the legendary hideousness of the sendmail.cf configuration file. Most importantly, sendmail now normally comes preconfigured, and you should never need to touch it unless you have unusual requirements (such as needing to route mail over a non-TCP/IP network).
