[ale] New User: Sendmail and DNS server questions

[Dow Hurst]

There is a book on Sendmail called "Linux Sendmail Administration" by 
Craig Hunt that is really excellent for walking you thru getting 
sendmail running and configuring it to do what you want.  That would be 
a good place to start and keep handy.  It's about ~$28 on Amazon right 
now.  I have a copy and it is really nice for a newbie of sendmail.
