[H-GEN] Linux, SMTP, POP3 and *(*#*&^% NT

[Michael Anthon]

OK, here's a question for all the gurus out there.  I am thinking about 
implementing a particular configuration and want to know if I will be 
beating my head against a rather solid feeling brick wall.

Here is what I want to achieve.

1. A LAN using an NT server to provide user authentication services, 
running NT or 95 clients.
2. A Linux gateway/proxy/firewall
3. SMTP server running on the Linux box, providing POP3 and/or IMAP 
support.
4. The POP3 server must use NT user accounts.  This is because I really 
don't want to admin 2 sets of user accounts.

The problem is with the user accounts bit.  Is there any solution to this? 
 I did a bit of research on the web and found a rather depressing article 
here .... http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue24/lg_answer24.html (last topic 
on the page)
