Hi Laurie, 'tis tres simple. In <email-program-of-choice>, specify your server IP address (or DNS name if you're running DNS/hosts file) as the POP3 and SMTP addresses... i.e. My server collects mail from fl.net.au for jon and jill and stores them locally as jon and jill. We then log on using our respective workstations and collect it. You need fetchmail to do the fetching, and sendmail to do the sending.
