I am teaching my class on sendmail again and I thought other people reading
this list might be interested.  I am teaching this class on September 3rd in
Santa Clara, CA, September 11th, in Boston, MA, and on September 16th, in
Washington DC. Details follow below.

Just to be fair, the two other courses I know of that include information
about configuring and debugging sendmail are:
A tutorial given by Fred Avolio, avolio@dco.dec.com, which is part of his
	one day seminar at DECUS on Setting up your mail gateway
The "Advanced Topics In System Administration" seminar given by Rob Kolstad
	and Evi Nemeth which includes a two hour overview of sendmail and
	the sendmail.cf file

Of course I think my class is better because it goes into more depth about
configuring and debugging sendmail itself.  I go though a series of examples
showing how to add custom rules, rule sets, and mailers.  I then explain how
to debug these additions to your sendmail.cf file.

But then again, I might be a tad biased about this (:-)

Thanks in advance
RLH
