[fetchmail] Setting up home mail server?

2003-05-18 17:52:58
I am new to Linux but catching on fast after 3-4 hours a day for the
past month of working on it. I have searched google for some leads but I
have not found anything basic enough detailing what I am looking for.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to do the following...

Dedicated 333 Mhz PC with RH9 for mail server. 
DSL Connection with dynamic IP but do have a dyndns.org account
Wish to get my RH9 mail server set up to fetchmail every 2 minutes
and save all mail on HD. Initially copies of mail, not to purge my ISP.
Clients to log on my mail server and retrieve mail
Several flavors of OS's with mail clients (OS X, Win2K Outlook, RH9
Evolution)
Clients to send mail to my RH9 mail server and then have server send it
out upon client disconnecting.

Eventually once this is all set up I want to set up various forms of
spam mail blocking for obvious reasons, the main reason for me to set up
my mail server.

I have been able to set up fetchmail and DL my messages then use the
mail command to read it. I guess a cron job would be necessary to poll
my ISP every 2 or so minutes but then I am at a loss as to how to set up
the clients to look at my mail server computer on the home network to
pick up the mail stored there.
