I'll second that. I find Postfix much easier to live with. 

The following is a translation from something that I saved from a Dutch
UNIX forum some years ago ;-)

   Hacking sendmail.cf... It's easier and less painfull to amputate your
   own leg with a pocket knife.

The O'Reily _sendmail_ book is the most comprehensive about writing  
and debugging rulesets, although it is also rumored to have caused the  
deforestation of a small country due to it's size and page count.  Of  
course, the online documentation and FAQ available right there is  
probably enough for most people to get started.

Hi,


Someone can tell me where can I find a dedicated book or material of sendmail's 
rulesets?


Thanks in advance,
Efren.
