There are probably better or more sophisticated solutions, but I think
this one will work.
I think you can just give each of them an account on your Debian box,
then use popclient (part of netstd) to get their mail from the
external server to their Linux account. Then they will be able to use
pop to get their mail from your Linux box. I've done this before, but
I have sendmail running on all the machines involved. I'm not sure if
that's necessary. Perhaps someone else can say one way or the other.
