You could try using MH on Linux and Windows. One is the server the
other a proxy. I've not tried it but I'm pretty sure it can be done.
I'm afarid my thinking wouldn't be much help to you otherwise as I'm
used to thinking in terms of Unix with it's daemons. Not well suite
for Windows without extra tools such as Cgywin and a very different
way of thinking.
