Ideal MTA for Win 95 network

Hi,

I am at a point where I need to decide on the right MTA to handle our
internet mail on an NT network of 16 Win95 PC's.

My users will need to access their internal mail (Outlook) and internet mail
(???) from the office and remotely.  Ideally, if they could read both mail
types from a remote location, that would be best, however, with my limited
experience, I can only see how they can read their internet mail.

The number of users is likely to double in the next 12 months, and it needs
to be stable.

Any pointers ?

Thanks,
Greg.

If stability is the need get rid of  the NT box and replace it with a
Linux box with Samba.  Included in all Linux distributions is Sendmail
but you may prefer use Qmail.  

There is no difference between local & remove mail is is just mail.
You read it with either a pop or imap client.

	Actually smail is the usual supplied alternate for
	linux, altho the supplied version is rather outdated.
	Go to "ftp://ftp.planix.com/pub/Smail/" for a current
	release which has builtin spam protection and other
	nice features...
