	You cant afford us :)

	Seriously, Im sure someone on list has the time and could do with
the money.... 

	Just a word of caution tho: I hope that isnt your requirements spec
:) Setting up a linux server with sendmail and procmail seems to be what you
need... are you sure you dont want file/print serving? How about web proxy?
Full internet masquerading? Dial on Demand? What about maintenance? 

	People can be a little gun-shy of thin specs :) I know I am. Feature
creep can be cancer for any IT/Business relationship.... 

	AFAIK, setting up mail with a service that is dynamic IP can be a
bit fiddly. Hopefully someone on list will have more experience with it than
I do (in fact, I have never even attempted to setup sendmail on my lan - I
just cant grasp how it could work if you dont have your own static ip and
domain pointing to it :)

	Good luck!

	Subject:	[plug] Help with Linux Server

	Hello everyone,

	I had posted a few requests of help for installation of a Linux
server, 
	thank to those who answered. <strong>BUT</strong> I still seem to
have some 
	problems with it and hence this E-mail. I am looking for someone
with 
	experience in setting up a linux server withing a windows network
catering 
	for 17 workstations. The server is to act as a mailserver to the
outside 
	world and also for the organisation. It will basically check 17
mailboxes 
	every couple of hours with a dial up connection and then send the
mail to 
	the respective users on the internal network

	Of  course the time used to set up the machine and explain the whole
thing 
	to me will be paid for by the company. So if you please could send
me a 
	reply if you are interested to do this in the next couple of weeks.

	Christian
