CentOS - Oct 2005 - another postfix question

hello,

i was thinking of using postfix for a mail server, the
question is can i use this just for in bound email
only and have my clients access this server locally.
the clients would be outlook. I want this to check
certain email accounts i have and download them to the
postfix mail server. The reason i would think about
doing this is my wife and i need to access both of
these accounts and i do not want to keep them on the
email account. is this feasable and secure?

thanks

Steven

Yes, use your isp's mail server for outbound mail.

I do not understand what you are really trying to accomplish but one thing 
to keep in mind is that you will need a pop3/imap server inorder to have
outlook retreive tha mail. AFAIK outlook cannot reveive mail directly.
