There was a update from the ORA mailing list that they were working
on a new Bat and Camel book, for the 8.10.X series. Dunno where the
book is, because the mail was some 3-4 months back, and yet not a
sample chapter has been posted.

Docs for most of the MTAs, which are available at the above
sendmail.*** sites are mirrored at http://www.moongroup.org, along
with docs for other MTAs like Postfix and Exmh. I remeber seeing mail
related RFCs there as well. Also, take a look at mh and Jerry Peek's
online ORA book.
Given the number of patches and exploits that you have to keep up
with in administering Sendmail, I'd say Postfix is a very good
option. Excellent documentation and straight forward configuration,
and it runs as fast. QMail is one software that gave me a pain.
Anyone on this list using Qmail and happy with it?
