To the Bat book, Robin!

   Sendmail, 3rd Ed.; Bryan Costales and Eric Allman; O'Reilly and
   Associates; 2002; ISBN 1-56592-839-3

If you really want to get sendmail configuration right, this book
tells you everything you need to know.

On the other hand, the sendmail configuration out of the box on
FreeBSD is pretty much relay-proof, and it will serve adequately a
large number of not too complex sites with relatively minor tweaks.
There's a lot of hints and tips on http://www.sendmail.org/, although
they can be confusing to the beginner because some of the recipes
there apply to older versions of sendmail and either need modifying or
have been absorbed into the standard configuration files for more
recent versions.

	Cheers,

	Matthew
