Since I've used sendmail for a dozen years--largely by hit or
miss and following others' examples' let me add my two cents'.
A couple years ago I bought a (used) copy of SENDMAIL (by
O'Reilly, whose books are usually ++outstanding). I found the
book virtually useless.
It may be only *me*, but when somebody explains something to me,
I get it. Reading 50 pages of dry text is like eating sawdust,
so if you can get one of the text-to-speech apps going, having
that read parts (or all) of the README might be a big help.
I see, down-queue, some helpful hints. I have a bunch of
cheat-sheet files; how-to's that have things spelled out in
cookbook form or in practical theory form--things that are easily
implementable. My SENDMAIL file is many pages. Maybe it's
worth editing and putting up....
HTH!
