Gerard,
here's my thought on this.

Unix:  Running DNS (named) and sendmail.  Get Linux.  It's free.  Required a 
486 PC with 8 MB RAM (386 and Pentium will work too, best is Pentium the 486 
...) or 16 MB.  you can get it from ftp.cdrom.com or sunsite.unc.edu or 
tsx-11.mit.edu or the nearest mirrors to you.  It's very reliable

E-mail:  Get Pegasus E-mail (PMail).  It's free.  It runs with your novell 
network.  Installation 15 minutes.  There's a dos, windows, mac version.  for 
internet mail services,  use Mercury SMTP gateway (free).  Mercury runs on 
your novell server as an NLM and also provide POP3 services. 
Both of these can be downloaded from risc.ua.edu

Newsgroup useful for these:
bit.listserv.novell
bit.listserv.pmail
comp.os.linux.announce
comp.os.linux.hardware
comp.os.linux.development
comp.os.linux.networking
comp.os.linux.misc

Have fun

agree with your e-mail solution (i don't know enough about unix anymore 
to comment on the other), however, since he's running Novell 4.1, there's 
a file not included in the pmail zip file he'll need to download for 
a windows setup which includes the file wpnnw4.dll.  we just went through 
the pegasus mail setup and stumbled on this requirement during the 
installation process.  i can't remember the zipped filename, but it was 
the last group on the listing when i looked at it.

hope this saves you a little of the frustration we went through on ours. 
 maybe it was just ignorance on our part (g*).
