You're not on the linux-sig mailing list, are you?  There have been
many many answers to your quetion, but because of broken mailing-list
software (HINT: CAN SOMEONE CHANGE THIS, PLEASE?), all responses got
sent to the list, not to you.  As a result, since you aren't on
linux-sig, you never saw the answers.

Basically, to sum up my views of the responses: what you want to do is
not hard.  Just have the smart host be "fully" on the net, and have
the dumb host send mail through the smart-host.  You set up the smart
host to accept mail for the dumb host, and use something like POP (or
an NFS-mounted /var/spool/mail) to have users on the dumb host get
their mail from the smart host.

All this assumes the same userbase between the two hosts.  If that is
not the case, then other solutions will be necessary.
