Sorry, nothing for the whole kit and kaboodle. But there are good individual stand-alone guides: For the underlying guts, the FreeBSD handbook https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/index.html https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/index.html Freebie book online for qmail is at http://lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html http://lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html . lwq.html or the OS's port collection will point you to DJB's (mandatory) djbdns config instructions. Do you remember how to manually edit DNS zone records? He uses a unique format but you'll still need to remember which resource records to use. By now there must be great online DNS resources?

I left out one other use. I subscribe to about 30 mail lists, all but NANOG o/s related. I have those emailed to the VSP instance and use a really simple mail2news.py script to pipe it to rnews for forwarding to a private INN server that sits behind a dynamic IP to preserve and read mail lists with a newsreader as $DIETY intended. With a static presence and a cheap VSP it's so much easier to make things work the way you like them. I hope you try it and get into it as much as I do. More copyediting...
