My ISP provides me with a single mailbox and multiple aliases, so that
everyone in the family has their own address. We're all using Outlook
Express currently (they use it on a Win98 machine, I use it inside VMWare on
Linux). (Please don't bother flaming me on this. Frankly, OE sucks less
than any the Linux mail clients I've tried, and I've pretty much tried them
all, GUI or non-GUI.) I set each of us up with a separate OE profile, and I
use inbox rules (i.e., filtering) to ensure that we each download only the
messages that belong to us.
I'm getting tired of this, however, because it *does* ties everyone to OE.
My wife prefers Outlook, and on my part I'm ready to make a switch to a
native Linux mail client, as the suckage level seems to be lessening. I'm
also tired of keeping VMWare up all the time -- even with 256MB RAM, it's a
resource hog.
So what I'd ike to do is switch to a scheme using (perhaps)
fetchmail/procmail. My question (finally!) is: what's the best way for my
to grab all the mail from my ISP and serve it up to my other three users?
We're on a LAN; my machine is a NAT server and firewall. Seems to me that I
have to set up a mail server of some sort, but I'm ignorant on that subject.
