Yes, you can. You can use Samba itself, or you could configure NFS.
Neither is recommended for machines directly exposed to the internet.

If you use NFS, the network is totally transparent (like mapped drives
in Windows). If you use samba, smbmount is what you are looking for on
the console, and any of the GUI wrappers around it.

See the archives. Use postfix|exim|sendmail|qmail. Mandrake comes by
default with postfix, and I recommend reading the documentation at
http://www.postfix.org for more info. Your setup is described in the FAQ
probably.
