Overview/Description
A significant portion of the world's e-mail servers use Linux as their operating system. Within that scope, there are several choices available to an administrator for a Mail Transfer Agent (MTA). An MTA is the application that receives, filters, and delivers e-mail to the correct recipients. Linux provides various accessibility methods, including enhanced contrast visual themes for those with reduced sight as well as keyboard modifications for those with limited motion. This course covers both Linux MTA applications and accessibility functions within the Linux operating system. This course is one of a series in the SkillSoft learning path that covers objectives for the Linux Professional Institute Certification exam number 102. Passing this exam in addition to exam number 101 will earn the learner LPIC Certification Level 1.
