There is some form of it in the comments in the configuration files.
Other people have described the configuration files as "arcane",
to me the commands look like random collections of letters and
numbers...
However, it appears to be the bog standard sendmail, complete with
copyrights, so any documentation (say from *NIX) should apply.

Yep - not very helpful is it.
Given the obscurity of the configuration files, I'm not sure I want to
touch them anyway.
