Hmm. You're right, it does.

There's a big problem with sendmail documentation.

The sendmail.org site has plenty of info but it is organised more as a
reference guide which assumes that you know what you want already.

The best source of information I've found so far is the "bat" book
published by O'Reilly but even that is out of date. I bought it *new* about
3 years ago and it documents sendmail 8.9.x !!!

If a similar book were available for sendmail 8.13.x I'd jump on it
straight away.
