The one-day Advanced Sendmail and Electronic Mail Domains seminar is designed
for administrators of complex electronic mail networks who need to know how
to design, setup and manage mail sub-domains.  You will learn how to setup
sendmail and the Domain Naming System (DNS) on a mail gateway which relays
mail with the Internet.  You will learn the advantages of using IDA sendmail.

After this one day training seminar you will be able to:
* Understand how to use sub-domains in a complex mail network
* Set-up mail sub-domains and mail routing hubs
* Understand how mail delivery within the Internet and to sub-domains
	is assisted with DNS Mail eXchanger records
* Set-up the Domain Naming System on a firewall gateway to provide MX records
	for domains and internal sub-domains
