This should be simple. You would setup each user with an account on the
Linux box. When mail is delivered to you by SMTP your sendmail will then
deliver it to the seperate accounts. You may have to modify sendmail but
I think that it comes with most Distrabutions to work right out of the
box.
The Win98 boxes will use POP to get mail from the Linux box. You will
need to have popd running. I found this already running on my Slackware
3.6. The POP mail clients login using there Linux userid and password
that you setup. The Win98 boxes will deliver mail to the Linux box via
SMTP and then your Linux sendmail will send it off.
I think this is how it works but could be wrong on some points.
I do this at home, but my connection to the ISP is via UUCP.
