Is your Win9x box directly connected to the Internet? If so, I believe you must just set up your SMTP server to point to your ACTUAL email server rather than the Linux box. OR use one of the many other SMTP servers available out on the Internet that don't require user authentication. Remember, your POP3 and SMTP servers don't have to be the same.
