Book Reviews of Postfix: The Definitive Guide

Book Review: Complex, fast moving topic
Summary: 3 Stars

I bought this book as soon as it came out, and I was reading the docs online more than the book.

What I was really hoping for from the book was how to setup some of the more complex postfix installations, at the time anyway, that the book was supposed to cover. It turned out the book did a poor job explaining what I was trying to do, and I was back to reading forums to get my answers.

The online docs are a much better source of information then the book.

Summary of Postfix: The Definitive Guide

Postfix is a Mail Transfer Agent (MTA): software that mail servers use to route email. Postfix is highly respected by experts for its secure design and tremendous reliability. And new users like it because it's so simple to configure. In fact, Postfix has been adopted as the default MTA on Mac OS X. It is also compatible with sendmail, so that existing scripts and programs continue to work seamlessly

after it is installed.

Postfix was written by well-known security expert Wietse Venema, who reviewed this book intensively during its entire development. Author Kyle Dent covers a wide range of Postfix tasks, from virtual hosting to controls for unsolicited commercial email.

While basic configuration of Postfix is easy, every site has unique needs that call for a certain amount of study. This book, with careful background explanations and generous examples, eases readers from the basic configuration to the full power of Postfix. It discusses the Postfix interfaces to various tools that round out a fully scalable and highly secure email system. These tools include POP, IMAP, LDAP, MySQL, Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL), and Transport Layer Security (TLS, an upgrade of SSL). A reference section for Postfix configuration parameters and an installation guide are included.

Topics include:

Basic installation and configuration

DNS configuration for email

Working with POP/IMAP servers

Hosting multiple domains (virtual hosting)

Mailing lists

Handling unsolicited email (spam blocking)

Security through SASL and TLS

From compiling and installing Postfix to troubleshooting, "Postfix: The Definitive Guide" offers system administrators and anyonewho deals with Postfix an all-in-one, comprehensive tutorial and reference to this MTA.
