Stopping Spam is a good introduction to the major issues, but despite its claims has little to offer the system administrator. An example of a topic that should have been covered in depth, but wasn't, is the configuration of a mail server to use Vixie's Real Time Black Hole. It's not a bad book, but it's not the bat book, either.

Having said that, it would make a nice gift for your pointy-haired boss who needs a whack with the cluebat. It will even be of use to the advanced user who wants to write their first procmail filter to cut down on the spam in their mailbox.
