The documentation which comes with sendmail is a good start. AIR some
distro's don't include it by default but you can always get it at
www.sendmail.org.

Good luck

Also consider qmail, and other mailers. You will also want to look at
spamassassin and clamuv or similar

Sendmail is more than capable of doing what you ask. Just read thru the
documentation that comes with it. It's all there- whether an admin wants to
take the time to actually 'learn' Sendmail or write it off as too complex is
up to that admin. Use of the m4 macros makes Sendmail config much easier,
and most of the configurations are already written for you; you simply need
to combine the features you want in your own custom config file and then
process it with the m4 util to make your Sendmail.cf. My Sendmail came with
a doc "op.ps", which tells everything you never wanted to know about
Sendmail (but needed to ask). Also check into libmilter.
