I just got one of those virtual servers hosted by my ISP and want to setup my Linux box at home to be the "post office" for the other PCs in the house. 
 
Example:  my domain at the virtual server ISP hosted is: www.whatever.com (of course its not the correct one.)
                At home, I setup my Linux box to be www.whatever.com
                Now I want the Linux box (through ppp dial-up) to get all mail sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to be then
                parsed to the appropriate user at home.
 
 
-ISP (holding all my mail)-|
                                     |
                                     +-----My linux box-----+
                                                                    |
                                                                   +-----Brother's PC  ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
                                                                    |
                                                                   +-----Brother's PC  ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
                                                                    |
                                                                   +-----Dad's PC  (dad@whatever.com)
                                                                    |
                                                                   +-----and so on...
 
I would like to use Sendmail and Fetchmail so I can learn to use it more and more as a standard.
The pc's at home are linked via Class C TCP/IP numbers (e.g. 192.168.x.x)
The linked pc's are running Windows and/or Linux as workstations be masqueraded by the Linuxbox to the internet.
I know I can set up the individual pc's to get their own mail straight from the ISP through masquerading but I only want some pc's to have internet access while others only get mail (This town only has 56K...no cable, no dsl, no nothing)
 
If someone can setup an example scenario, I'd greatly appreciate it.
If someone finds a visual-oriented instruction page somewhere on the net regarding this, then we would ALL appreciate it!
 
Thank you in advance,
Frank Durante
