[ale] Sendmail and Linux 6.0

[Jim Kinney]

If all you need is a simple setup, linuxconf will suffice. It has enough
documentation online to make sense. All you need is for all mail to have
an account and sendmail will happily route it to them.

If you need more complex rules (i.e. proc filtering for spam removal)
O'Reilly has "Sendmail", the most god awfull configuration nightmare in
all of *nix.
