title: Removing the Spam
: Email Processing and Filtering
by: Geoff Mulligan
publisher: Addison-Wesley 1999
_Removing the Spam_ is not really about spam (junk email). The subtitle
"email processing and filtering" is far more accurate, as the book
covers general email processing using some popular Unix software tools.
The opening chapter provides a brief history of electronic mail and
an introduction to how it works; three chapters then cover sendmail,
procmail, and mailing lists (Majordomo and SmartList).
Installation, configuration, and basic operation are covered for each of
the tools. The chapter on procmail, for example, describes how to obtain,
build, and install it. It then describes basic .procmailrc syntax and
offers some examples of what can be implemented with procmail, such as
auto-responders and file-servers -- and spam filters.
_Removing the Spam_ will be a useful guide for Unix administrators and
power users who use the tools it covers.
