Puget Sound Technology teaching Postfix Mail Server

HRR writes “Puget Sound Technology is teaching a beginning mail server
administration workshop on Tuesday evening, April 1 in Everett, Wash.
This workshop will cover the basics of the SMTP protocol, and
configuring and maintaining the Postfix server for email.

The open source Postfix is a popular alternative to the widely-used
Sendmail Mail Transfer Agent. It has proven to be a fast, secure,
and easy-to-administer email server. Postfix is freely available for
various Unix systems and is included with many Linux distributions
and BSD flavours.

The three-hour workshop covers the basics of email routing, DNS MX
records, comparisons of popular Mail Transfer Agents (MTA),
troubleshooting SMTP, delivery and retrieval methods, mailbox formats,
anti-relaying and anti-spam techniques, and virtual hosting. It
will also include the Postfix installation, standard configuration,
common Postfix configuration parameters, and general maintenance
of a Postfix mail server.

This introductory course is one of a series of ongoing open source
seminars provided by Puget Sound Technology. Upcoming workshops
include: Linux Networking and IP Tables; Installing Linux;
Configuring and Troubleshooting Domain Name (DNS) Services; and
Exploring the KDE Graphical Environment.

Seating is limited. For more information or to
