Hi Shine:

This is the way we have it in our office.  The Linux server is a PII 333 
MHz with 64 MB although 32 MB RAM would suffice. The Linux box is also 
configured as a proxy using squid.  The NT is the PDC and authenticates all 
users.  The Linux mail server has a static IP address and is also the DNS 
server.  The mail clients used on Win95/98 machines are Outlook97 and the 
pop3 server in outlook's profile is the Linux mail server (name or IP works 
fine) and outlooks mail and address (.pab and .pst) files are on the 
individual user's folder on the NT machine, which enables them to access 
their mail from any client so long as their profile is created on it.

As for setting up the mail server itself, there is just one configuration 
file "sendmail.cf" but it flies 4096 metres above my head ; )  Suggest you 
do some heavy reading - "Sendmail" from O'reilly for instance or get 
professional help.

Regards

Vasanth
