Here's the deal.

My wife and I have an RH8.0 server at home which is used primarily for
e-mail (so far).  We have it set up so that when we're at home we check
our e-mail on the server with Outlook (her) or Evolution (me).

Every now and then one of us forgets to turn off our e-mail program when
we go off to work, meaning we can't check it remotely with Squirrelmail
when we're on the road (since the e-mail clients pull the mail off the
server before we can see it in SM).  Not a problem for me, since I can SSH
to my own computer and shutdown Evolution from the command line and use
Mutt to check anything important I might have missed.  But since my wife
uses Windoze we can't ssh into her machine to shut off Outlook.

So I'm trying to figure out how I can set things up so that my wife can
check her mail with SM when she forgets to turn off Outlook.

One thought I had was SSH'ing into the mail server and fixing the hosts
table to disallow access from her computer, so that when Outlook tries to
access the mail server it gets an error.  How, exactly, would I do that? 
And what are some other options?
