If you use /etc/hosts on your linux box and the hosts file in your
windows directory on your clients, you can set up a mail server with
sendmail. the default sendmail that comes with redhat type of systems
uses /etc/sendmail.cw to configure your machine as a sendmail system with
the name found in that file.
the only thing is mail to the outside world will bounce after a few
days.
