Based on what Dan said below, can anyone help me out with setting up vmail? Basically 
he says he's using vmail, and that it's something that came with RH - but I can't find 
a thing about.

I think I can get a handle on the pop3 part as soon as I figure out how to get 
sendmail to work with virtual users.

Thanks in advance to anyone who replies :-)
