I'm in the process of packing up my house to redecorate it and move to another. As a result my 11/83 has been packed up and I won't get to play for some time :-(. However, the question - I am probably going to get a broadband connection to wherever I end up. I will then network all of the various boxes together and connect everything (including the PDP) to the Internet. I intend having one box set up as a server for FTP, email and so on and everything else using that. I will probably use a Linux box for this. Can I get a pop3 system for it that will talk to sendmail (only because sendmail is the only mail system that I have used) or can I get a reasonable pop3 server for Linux. Anybody else has ideas on how I should do this then hints tips etc. gratefully received. In case the above seems stupid the idea is to take all email through a server, weed out all incoming rubbish, and route it to various individual's (partner, daughter etc.) PCs.
