Hi!

I am trying to setup e-mail from Netware to the Internet
via Linux box.

My E-mail on Netware is done on Pegasus mail.

My provider has POP3 account for us.

What I want to accomplish:

If anyone sends a message from my network to the global Internet,
the message goes to the Linux box, which will dial to our ISP
and send a message. The FROM address should be replaced with our
"official" internet address (so far we have only 1 mailbox).

The gateway should also get incoming messages (let's say it will dial 
once in 2 hours) and see, if there is a line in the body of a message 
like Person-to: and use the rest of the line as Netware name to forward 
e-mail to.

I have Linux set and working on a dedicated PC. I even set PPPD so I can
use Internet via PPP account I have with our ISP.

The question is - now what? What should I do next to complete my task?
How do I set up my SMTP server there and Mercury, so they would 
interface? How would I do FROM header replacement?

Any info will be GREATLY appreciated.

Sincerely, Alex Tsekhansky.
