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.
