Hi Neil,

This is from Apple Tech Info Lib #30998:

The sendmail server documentation is located in
/System/Documentation/Administration/Services/sendmail. Sendmail is a mail
server used in a variety of environments; documentation can be found at the
Sendmail, Inc.'s site, and also through the man (manual) pages.

http://www.sendmail.org/
http://www.sendmail.com/

I hope this helps.

Shawn
