Very good book
I bought this book because I am writing an SMTP server. While I already had most of the code written, I was looking for "nuances" and anything I may not have thought of. This book provided a few extra bits of information that were helpful.If I were writing any kind of mail client, this would be the *perfect* book for that. While it does include rudimentary code for various servers, they're woefully incomplete (as they probably should be for this type of book) and require a bit of extra work if you want to use them in a production environment. As for the book itself, it is very well written and very easy to read. The VB code examples are helpful and enhance the text explanations very well. Had this book included a CDROM with the code (instead of making you search the web for it) I would have given it 4.5 stars. Add to that better code examples and a better discussion on server applications and it would have been 5 stars.

Covers everything you need to know.
The book covers the essentials and a lot more. The examples are a good place to start but it doesn't take long before you run up against their limitations. Just take them as examples.
