Possible to send an email to a Linux Server?

Hello All,

I was curious if its possible to send an email (in reverse) to a linux server from an email client (like Lotus Notes, Outlook, etc...)?

I know it's possible to send an email FROM a Linux Server TO a email address, but I tried to just 'reply' to the Linux Servers
address that sent it to me but I get a "DELIVERY FAILURE: 550 Host Unknown"? I've created quite a few scripts that use
the mail command to send notifications about certain things, like Performance Monitoring data, and stuff like that. But I was
just curious if something like this is possible?

I just figured if you could send emails then maybe you could receive them too...?

Any thoughts would be great!

Thanks in Advance,
Matt

pygm2n

pygm2n(1)						    Python Gateway mail to news 						 pygm2n(1)

NAME

       pygm2n - Python Gateway mail to news

SYNOPSIS

       pygm2n -n newsgroups [ -s newsserver ] [ -h ]

DESCRIPTION

       IMPORTANT: this man page is to be continued. The Whole pyg gateway is in devel. state.  try -h option for more detailed option.

       pygm2n reads from stdin an email, sending it to newsgroups, a comma separated list without spaces of newsgroup names (at least one), rfc799
       compliant.

       If pygm2n reads from stdin a sigle line starting with /, it is considered an absolute path to a single-email mailbox, so pygm2n	will  open
       and read it.

       Note that now pyg can't read a real mailbox, with many emails. If you give it in input, pyg will post the whole mailbox as a single email.

EXAMPLES

       There is some documetation in /urs/share/doc/pyg

       I  created  mailgate  user  (moderator of local.moderated ng).  Subscribe to a list with this user (or simply email one message to).  Every
       email posted to this user will send to newsgroups, in its .procmailrc I've put something like:

       :0 bh * ^From *mailinglist-request@lists.debian.org | $HOME/pygm2n -n local.debian.mailinglist
