Customer Reviews

Alot of great ideas on protecting your e-mail....

I purchased this book after my e-mail and web browser were getting hack attacks. The information in this book gave me alot of tools on how to plug up vulnerable points in my Outlook program, Outlook express and all other popular e-mail programs as well as web browser Active X and Java attacks and instant messenger attacks. It also goes into how the hackers get into your system and what the code looks like and how to search for it on your computer if they are stored on your hard drive. Very good book, I highly recommend it!

Full Coverage of all aspects of email related issues

This book is amazing, covering all aspects of email related issues and the ways to deal with. I pretty much enjoyed reading the chapter on web-based mail issues, which drives me to use hushmail than yahoo or hotmail.

Very Nice Job

Picked this up a week or so ago, and have found myself referring to it on a number of occasions. The overall treatment is nice, as it delves into things needed for both the home user and email admin. I've especially enjoyed (and found useful) the chapters on Securing Win2K Server and Securing Red Hat Linux for email services.

Great Resource

Just finished reading most of this book, and have found it very well done. I'm a sysadmin at a small company and part of my work is e-mail administration. This book will reside on my shelf at work, and will be used repeatedly. The neat thing about the book is that people who are looking for some e-mail support at home (or in a small office) will find many parts of it useful. Covers everything from Web based mail to Outlook to personal firewalls. An interesting and useful read. Well Done.
