Dear All,
I am asked to configure send mail on my linux server in pour office. I have some doubts and problems in configuring that.
My requirements are as follows.
Our mail server is hosted in US. I want to download all mails centrally from there and send mail through sendmail.
All our clients are WinXP/Outlook. My sendmail server is not connected to internet regulerly. Now I am able to send mails to out side servers like yahoo, and rediff and also able to send mails to internal users. But I am not able to get mails from outside servers like yahoo or rediff. Can I send and recieve mails using sendmail. Or do I need to configure fetch mail seperately to recieve mails from my US server. If yes how can I make fetchmail regulerly keep checking for new mails. I donot want to use fetchmail command manually on linux server. Because I configure outlook as my client. So the fetchmail should look for new mails every 5 or 10 mins and download mails for each user from US sever.

How can I do thease things. Please help me.
If I can use sendmail for both sending and recieving mails plese tell me how to do that
