Hi Patrick,

Just some ideas, hope it helps :)

> 1. Setup a POP3 server for about 10-20 users.
Easily done. Qpopper can auth off the passwd file in linux (/etc/passwd).
Qpopper will support this out of the box

> 2. Hopefully use SSL or APOP<all I have read says that MS Outlook can't

Not sure. Do you have a specific use for encryption? Most sites just use
POP3, however if you have a specific there may be a patch work around. Im
sure there are lots of people who use qpopper + apop + outlook

> 3. Allow a web interface for users to check there email as well.
Easy. Lots of php and perl webmails can be found at www.sourceforget.net

> 4. I don't need digests right now but it might be cool in the future.
Not sure regarding this one

> 5. Set up sendmail so that only my users can use it. NO RELAYING!< I

You can go that path, however I prefer exim. Its a direct replacement of
sendmail and can be installed over the top and still function as a fake
"sendamil" but provide many more features and configurable features. Much
easier than sendmail

> 6. Get some sleep at night!
This is good too
