Who should attend: Systems administrators who want to learn more about the Sendmail program, particularly details of configuration and operational issues (this tutorial will not cover mail front ends). This will be an intense, fast-paced, full-day tutorial intended for people who have already been exposed to Sendmail. This tutorial describes the latest release of Sendmail from Berkeley, version 8.9.

After introducing a bit of the philosophy and history underlying Sendmail, this tutorial covers:

	The basic concepts of configuration: mailers, options, macros, classes, keyed files (databases), and rewriting rules and rulesets
	Configuring Sendmail using the M4 macro package
	Day-to-day management issues, including alias and forward files, "special" recipients (files, programs, and include files), mailing lists, command line flags, tuning, and security
	How Sendmail interacts with the Domain Name System
