 If you dont need a smtp-server for other reasons, you can try 
 fetchmail with procmail as local delivery agent. To send mail,
 then you can use ssmtp.
 I am currently working on fetchmail+procmail+ssmtp for
 Win95 with cygwin-1.1.4. If you like to know, I can report
 my experience when I am done.
