Hi, I am not a Linux person but I am now setting up my first server.

The main reason I am doing this is to run a mail server. Can anybody
point me to a URL/book that will help a novice setup and maintain one?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

For a first Email server, I would suggest postfix over sendmail.
