I don't know any guides - didn't google either.

My four rules:
* Don't run sendmail unless email is your life AND you've outgrown the other
alternatives.
* Don't be an open relay.
* Don't be a spammer.
* Always have a backup MX on a different ISP with an SMTP server ready to
receive email.

O'Reilly has a few books on SMTP/email/MTA.


IMAP rocks when you run your own server.

Does anyone else run Zimbra?
