But I think _maybe_ you could update it according to our correspondence

I have every intention of doing so, Cristoph. Your comments and experience are going to be very valuable, and indeed I have saved copies of those emails. <smile>
However, Benjamin Weiss and I are now cooperating on a "Simple Mailserver HOWTO" with greater scope. The idea is to teach someone how to take a "bare metal" Fedora box and build it into a safe, reliable mail server (SMTP/POP3/IMAP) with encrypted logins, spam reduction, and anti-virus scanning; and to do this with the user's choice of either Sendmail or Postfix.
Since the job is significantly larger than the one I already finished, I've frozen development of the Sendmail SMTP AUTH HOWTO and will concentrate on bringing all this new material to the new document so that we can get a first version put together and published ASAP.
