There really is no direct replacement for MS Mail under BSD. If you only want to run Samba without connecting to the internet, then one of the clients can create an MS Mail Post Office from the control panel, using a share from Samba. This post office can be used for internel mail only. The caveat is that whoever creates the post office owns it. They will need to create the user's mail boxes using the post office tool that ships with Windows. Also, this approach to email will not utilize any of the mail services or mail accounts on the freebsd box. If you are feeling adventurous, you can setup a sendmail daemon, a pop3 daemon and an LDAP server. This will allow you to send email internally and externally.
