after 1st paragraph

FEATURE(`enhdnsbl', `sbl.spamhaus.org', , ,`127.0.0.2', `127.0.0.3')

needs to be changed to read:

FEATURE(`enhdnsbl', `sbl.spamhaus.org', , ,`127.0.0.2.', `127.0.0.3.')

note addition of trailing . (dot) at end of the IP addresses.

example after 1st paragraph

In the rsync example: # rsync rsync.dsbl.org::dsbl/bind-list.dsbl.org.
"bind-list.dsbl.org."
should be
"bind-list.dsbl.org ."
The trailing dot is the local directory, meaning that an intervening space is required. More
importantly, it should be noted that this is only an *example* of one
way that blackhole list services provide list updates. In this
particular case, dsbl.org no longer provides BIND formatted lists. An
updated example using the current format supported by dsbl.org would be:

# rsync rsync.dsbl.org::dsbl/rbldns-list.dsbl.org .

Of course, there can be no guarantees that this won't change again. To
reiterate, this is just an example.

1st paragraph (See Also of 8.10)

I read:

however, TLS_Rcpt: is actually described in 10.10.8.3 in the sendmail book.

"See Also" section of recipe 9.3

I read:
The sendmail book covers ..... confQUEUE_FILE_MODE in 29.9.84,
confFAST_SPLIT in 29.9.32, confMAX_QUEUE_CHILDREN in 29.9.65, ...

but, the sendmail book does not have chapter 29.
The following section numbers are appropriate:

The sendmail book covers ..... confQUEUE_FILE_MODE in 24.9.84,
confFAST_SPLIT in 24.9.46, confMAX_QUEUE_CHILDREN in 24.9.65, ...
