[Sheflug] Internal mail server complications

["Chris Johnson" <chris [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Can anybody point me at a good source of information on how to set up an
internal email server.  Its not quite as simple as I thought.  Currently we
just have an SMTP server running for outgoing emails.  Incoming emails are
collected directly from our ISPs POP3 server.  This is great but it means
internal mail has to go out to the ISP and then back in again.  I want to
set up a server so that internal emails are sent to a local POP3 server for
collection over the LAN but external emails get sent out via the normal
routes.

Could this be set so that some internal emails still get posted to the ISPs
POP3 server.  We have some mobile/part time workers who collect their email
from our ISPs web based email service when they are not in the office.
Other workers are in the office all the time and its their email I want to
prevent from going outside our LAN.

Any suggestions welcome.

Chris
