Now that we've discussed the theory of configuring, installing, and testing a
|
|
sendmail+IDA system, lets take a few moments to look into things that
|
|
<em>do</em> happen routinely in the life of a mail administrator.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Remote systems sometimes break. Modems or phone lines fail, DNS definitions
|
|
are set incorrectly due to human error. Networks go down unexpectedly. In
|
|
such cases, mail administrators need to know how to react quickly,
|
|
effectively, and <em>safely</em> to keep mail flowing through alternate routes
|
|
until the remote systems or service providers can restore normal services.
|
|
<P>
|
|
The rest of this chapter is intended to provide you with the solutions to the
|
|
most frequently encountered ``electronic mail emergencies''.
