I personally don't like this book too much.  It goes into too much
detail, and tends to be confusing.  For most people, the chapter on
DNS in Craig Hunt's "TCP/IP Network Administration", also from
O'Reilly, is more than adequate.

Not to mention "sendmail", by Bryan Costales, also from O'Reilly.  A
new edition was due a while back, but I don't know if it's made it
yet.
