I have a couple of questions that hopefully someone can answer.

1) Is there a book that tells what how to make a sendmail.cf file,
what the options are, how to make changes, etc. Basically a beginner's
guide so if you know what you want to do, how to do it.

2) Is there a way to have multiple gateway machines so that if one
is down the other is used?

3) For some reason (most likely it is not set up correctly :-) the
sendmail program will send mail to the gateway even if it should be
local if the full domain name is used, ie. sandberg@ipla01.hac.com
goes to the gateway and then back again and I would rather it not,
but it is rather confusing trying to figure out why or where.

Any help would be appreciated.

A good defense modifies the offense, then attacks based on the changes.
