Note however that the documentation of each configuration option in the 
book is carefully done using a different wording from the docs in the 
MailScanner.conf file. So if you don't quite follow one version for a 
particular config option, you may well understand the other one better. 
I was very careful to write them independently, so they don't end up 
saying the same thing.

The book also has the advantage that, instead of listing the options 
alphabetically or anything like that, every option is put in context 
along with its related options.

So the book does add a lot of content that you won't get elsewhere.

Buy it straight off the website www.mailscanner.info. Your money is 
perfectly safe, I am not involved in any of the transactions. There are 
2 suppliers, the main one (CafePress for people west of the Atlantic) 
and a new deal I have recently arranged with Lulu for people east of the 
Atlantic, so you pay the minimum possible shipping costs. The book 
itself costs $40 or £20 roughly, which I reckon is cheap for a 
specialist technical book these days. I might put the price up some 
time, once I have compared it with similar books in the USA. The UK 
price is certainly cheaper than similar books on other topics, in my 
view. It's my only source of income from MailScanner, apart from 
occasional contract jobs sorting out people's servers and getting them 
well setup.
