Reviews
There is a more or less valuable documentation for every product, project or technology. Especially in the open source area various communities offer a helping hand in blogs, forums and mail lists. So the question is: "Why should I spend money on a particular book and invest time in reading it?" On this page I have published my opinion about books I have recently read. Hopefully someone'll find it useful. Comments are very welcome. Please use the contact form.
Postfix Einrichtung Betrieb und Wartung (My rating: 4 of 5)
Postfix is one of the most widely used Mail Transfer Agents (MTA). It is included as installable package with most Linux distributions. Being installed that way one easily gets a runing (and even mostly secure) instance of Postfix. But MTAs are targeted by spammers who firstly want to misuse them as spam relays and secondly want to address their spam to the mailboxes maintained by the MTA. To prevent this the administrator must take extreme care about the configuration. A deep understanding of Postfix is needed for that purpose. That's what the authors Ralf Hildebrandt and Patrick Ben Koetter are trying to provide with their book. This is a review about the German second edition which is based on the English first edition of "The Book of Postfix". Information might not be completely accurate for that edition.
