Sendmail - Softcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Bryan Costales is director of technology with Mercury Mail in Denver, Colorado. Always at the cutting edge, he "telecomutes" from his home in Laramie, Wyoming. He has been active in system administration for over fifteen years and has been writing articles and books about computer software for over ten years. His most notable books are C from A to Z (Prentice Hall), Unix Communications (Howard Sams), and, of course, sendmail (O'Reilly & Associates). In his rare free time, he dreams of sailing the Gulf coast and writes fiction with a group called Make Believe Sailors. Eric Allman is the original author of sendmail. While working at the University of California, he got involved with the early UNIX effort at Berkeley. His first experiences with UNIX were with 4th Edition, and he still has the manuals to prove it (and has been accused of being a pack rat because of it). Over the years, he wrote a number of utilities that appeared with various releases of BSD, including the -me macros, tset, trek, syslog, vacation, and of course sendmail. Besides working on the INGRES database management project and the Mammoth infrastructure project at Berkeley, Eric worked on window systems at the International Instituted for Applied Systems Analysis in Austria, Britton Lee (later Sharebase) doing database user and application interfaces, and at the International Computer Science Institute, contributing to the Ring Array Processor project for neural-net-based speech recognition. He also co-authored the "C Advisor" column for Unix Review for several years. Eric has been accused of working incessantly, enjoys writing with fountain pens, and collects wines, which he stashes in the cellar of the house that he shares with Kirk McKusick, his partner of 17 and-some-odd years. He is also treasurer of USENIX Association.
