how to set up my home Linux server as a mail server?

[rfreez at gte.net (Rob Freeman)]

I have a home network consisting of a Red Hat 6.0 server and Win 98 client.  I got Ethernet connectivity going and Samba up and running.  My earlier problem with Samba was a matter of password sync, by the way.  All I had to do was copy the /etc/passwd file into /etc/smbpasswd, something that was not in my thick Red Hat book.

Now I want to configure the Linux box to be a POP mail server (or whatever is best) for my Win 98 client, so that when I set up Apache with a CGI interface, I can actually fill out a form and send an email from the Apache server to the Windoze client.

So does it have to be an SMTP/POP server?  The sendmail daemon starts on boot, I see that.  But where do I configure it for my Windoze client?  Thanks.
