I use a combination of:
sendmail:
for delivering mail locally and remotely.
fetchmail:
for popping my mail home and feeding them to my sendmail.
procmail:
for sendmail's local delivery agent, and filtering mail to my
mailboxes.
The setup of these programs is not too complicated, but as a newbie it
might seem a bit intimidating at first. For sendmail setup, I suggest
the excellent "Sendmail" book of O'Reilly. Fetchmail and procmail
should be easier to play with, and their manpages are fairly complete
and usually sufficient resources.
