Are you sure you want to use POP download the mail? If you want
that to work properly, you'll need to have one POP account at the
ISP for each user on your system. You'll also need some way to
maintain all the passwords for these accounts.
Better to use UUCP (or whatever system your ISP uses for this kind
of setup).

Sendmail will do this.

A POP3 server probably comes with your distribution.

Also probably included in your distribution.
