[Sheflug] Local e-mail service

[Peter Humphrey <prh@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've been running Gentoo on my LAN for quite a while now, and never bothered 
to get local e-mail running, but now I think it's time I did.

I have an AMD64 box dropping nasty packets on the floor, and also acting as 
a mini name server, a Web proxy, a portage rsync server and a time server. 
It generates e-mails. My workstation connects to it, and so does my laptop. 
I want to read all my mail on the workstation, and I don't want to open any 
routes straight through the firewall. If I want to accept e-mail from my 
ISP via SMTP, does that mean I have to run something the weight of qmail on 
both the workstation and the firewall box? Seems a bit excessive.
