On a standard RH9 system you need sendmail installed (should be already 
there) and imap (which will give you both pop3 and imap support)..

The I would suggest you read up on setting up sendmail to accept mail 
for your domain..

When you have configured it and started the pop3 and inap services and 
made sure you can send mail through your server then it will be time to 
setup you MX record in your DNS to point your mail delivery to your 
newly configured server(you will probably need a static IP address to do 
it properly otherwise you may be able to use a DDNS provider)..

There is plenty of info on setting up sendmail online, I even think the 
RH docs have some very usefull info..

Later..
