I just received my copy of the MailScanner book today. It's a long 
overdue addition to the bookshelf here, and I'd highly recommend it to 
anyone who is installing MailScanner, or turning over a MailScanner 
installation to someone who doesn't have time to scan the thousands of 
emails on this list for answers. It's a condensed user guide, not a 'too 
technical' book, and seems aimed at new or relatively new email admins 
who want to get the most out of MailScanner.
