You can set up a pop account in outlook, and simply use the ip address of the 
linux box.  If you want to use the hostname of the linux box, and this is a 
private hostname, then you can add the name to the lmhosts file in your NT 
root directory.  You can have your linux box be a dns server as well.  A 
similar question was recently asked and Ray had a good suggestion for doing 
this.
