Hello,
I have one question about RHCE exam. RHEL comes with Postfix and Sendmail MTA. I am comfortable with Postfix and I would not like to waste my energy with Sendmail. In exam can I choose Postfix over Sendmail or I have to concentrate on both Postfix and Sendmail?
Is there any RHCE forum out there?
Anybody with RHEL 4.0 NOT RHEL 3.0 books on 033,133 and 253 please contact me off list I want to buy that books.
Thank you
Regards,
Komal

You could try LPI.. I just talked to a friend in Netherlands. According to him, LPI is preferred over RHCE there, because not many use Red Hat there. LPI lets you choose your own distro. (He's on Debian)

Hi,
When i had taken the exam, they had asked to configure a mail server only. Didnt specified sendmail or postfix.

Please dont let out any information regarding the RHCE or any exam, Since it makes the exam meaningless. It will lose its value and become like an MCSE.
And Komal, If your company expects you to do the certification to retain your job and not based on your talent, Then I guess thats not the best place to work.

why not? the exam is structured in such a way that regardless of how much is revealed, it makes very little difference. The only way to prepare for the exam is to practice, practice, practice.

What to practise, the sylabus is given on the redhat site, However what comes in the exam is not to be disclosed. The exam tests not only whether you know your stuff but whether you can perform the tasks in the specified time. I hope I made my point.

Well... That's not the point. No matter how much is revealed nothing can help unless you have knowledge to implement. My query was very simple and straightforward. Should I study both sendmail and Postfix or just concentrate more on Postfix?

Komal, You have answered your own question. If you have the knowledge and are good in Linux, How does it matter what comes(sendmail or postfix) you should know both or any other MTA or application that may be provided in RHEL 4.
Knowing how to configure what "only" comes in the exam and knowing how to configure Linux in general are two different things and I guess thats why RedHat wants to keep the exam confidental and not have it become like an MCSE.

Yes, they do. And also promise to revoke the certification if one violates it. Heh.

Short answer do what you want.
Longer answer sendmail, postfix, qmail all of them are capable mail server software. If you know one, you can read a bit and understand others.
My personal choice maybe qmail, but that should effect your choice.
In context of documentation, all of them are well documented especially sendmail, but each on of these softwares need little bit of voodoo to work.

Must've been RHEL 3 or earlier. The current RHCE exam is based on RHEL 4. I think the paper would clearly specify which MTA to use. Sendmail is past its prime anyway.

In Fedora Core releases the default MTA is sendmail. Postfix has to be specifically selected during installation and you don't have a choice to deselect sendmail, although it can be removed post install. I suspect that RHEL is the same given that sendmail is the default in CentOS.
Given this background, IMO it would be wise to prepare for sendmail as well - at least the basic macros.
