Top tip: Sendmail bad. qmail good (particularly on this list... ;-)

Straight qmail on this box - accept any SMTP message from your local IPs and let qmail
sort out what to do with them using the DNS - you mention squid below, so it looks like
this box can already do DNS lookups.

Have machsim.com in control/locals - and accounts for all your users on the Linux box
to
deliver to.

Erm, you mean the "pop boxes" you mention in item 1.?? Checkout fetchmail, and Dan's
serialmail package (on cr.yp.to website).

I hope that helps. Your options will vary according to what addtional functionality you
have available from your hosting company - such as ETRN.
cheers,
Andrew.
