I use sendmail/pine on my FreeBSD installation to send mail out and
popclient/pine to receive mail.  In the pine config there is a user-domain
parameter which you can use to specify the default domain in your from
headers.  You can also do a customised header with a Reply-to field.

I also have a dual boot system and us OS-BS to switch between OS's.
Version 2.0 beta 8 allows you to boot off a second physical drive.
