On a standard RH9 system you need sendmail installed (should be already
there) and imap (which will give you both pop3 and imap support)..
The I would suggest you read up on setting up sendmail to accept mail
for your domain..
When you have configured it and started the pop3 and inap services and
made sure you can send mail through your server then it will be time to
setup you MX record in your DNS to point your mail delivery to your
newly configured server(you will probably need a static IP address to do
it properly otherwise you may be able to use a DDNS provider)..
There is plenty of info on setting up sendmail online, I even think the
RH docs have some very usefull info..
Later..
