I'm fairly experienced with desktop linux, but not so much with mail service. My network consists of; HW firewall/router/wireless access point vlad - Debian stable - headless samba server / misc workhorse aptiva - Debian testing - desktop thinkpad - Debian testing - laptop sethra - Win ME - Wife/kids email/games What I want is to be able to do all my email stuff on vlad. Either via ssh remotely or local network via CLI, or from aptiva or thinkpad from the local network. And spam filtering, hopefully. For now, this only has to support my account, perhaps my wife's someday, so no more than a couple hundred messages a day. In my fumblings, I've gotten fetchmail on vlad to retrieve mail from my pop server, and sent mail (mostly) successfully with exim, so the CLI part of this is basically sorted. What do I use to allow aptiva and thinkpad to see/manipulate the email on vlad via (for example) kmail? Google pointers anyone? Thanks, Mark Mitchell
