Summary: Qmail made much easier with this book
Review: After a month, and hours of installing and reinstalling FreeBSD and Qmail, I finally got the mail server working right! This was my first attempt at a mail server which I use for my family members and a few friends. There are a few errors in the book in some of the scripts which did cause me many problems. That was a pain. But, even at that, I don't think I would have been able to get Qmail running without this book. It is a great book for a person like me who is always doing something a bit over my head.

Summary: Great starter book for anyone
Review: Dave Sill did an excellent job of showing how to setup email server. If you know some Linux commands, you'll have no problem setup your first Linux email server. I personally prefer Dave's Qmail handbook to John Levine's Qmail (I got as well). Levine's Qmail is an great second book.Best Linux book I ever bought!

Summary: Holds your hand throughout the installation.
Review: David Sill is the author of the online resource, life with qmail. This book delves a little deeper, with enough additional information that I highly recommend this book. Anyone with little or no experience with a unix MTA, will greatly appreciate this book - it will make your life and installation a breeze. This is the qmail bible.

Summary: A qmail 'must have'
Review: Great book! One of the few books (of the hundreds I have) that actually contains useful information. You really -can- install and run qmail with this book. Follow along closely (check your spelling and case!! (I know)). Source from the book (all of the scripts and startup file) is available at the publisher ... This book has a great explanation of -how- qmail works, information on virtual domains, web mail, and pop servers that is a practical guide, not just the usual "find it on the web and figure it out" that many other linux books seem to rely on. Some of the book is based on the `life with qmail' documentation that the same author wrote, but with much better explanations and further examples of why you should do it `this way' instead of `that way'. The "LWQ" and all of the qmail source and other information is available ... The author has been most generous with his time by helping out on the qmail newsgroup alt.comp.mail.qmail. You can not go wrong having this book, a very good investment.

Summary: Good solid book. Everything you need to install and admin.
Review: I had 2 days to get a proper Unix-style mail system up and running at work-- even though I had never done anything in Linux past clicking next-next-next in a Red Hat install. This book not only made it easy to install and administer qmail, it actually made me a fan of the qmail software. I've never worked with anything that made so much sense. I am a Windows programmer.

Summary: Excellent Guide
Review: I just finished setting up a mail server at home and this book really made it simple. I'm not a novice, so I can't speak to it's ease of use, but the steps were simple, and a bit verbose and repetitive, but overall the book was invaluable. I also needed DNS and BIND to get everything working just the way I wanted, so I'd buy them both. Tim
