Hello,
  What you can do is configure your linux machine to connect to your vsnl account 
using chat or some other utility , you can write a  script to estaablish
connection , once connected use fetchmail , ( you will have to create .fetchmailrc)
in the root account to pull all the mails , you can pull all the mails for 
everyone and then you should have all the user accounts on your machine 
the local MDA will then deliver all mail to the individual users mail boxes. They 
can then configure their windows machines as pop3 clientts and pull their individual
mails . I have configured a Linux slackwaare machine to connect to vsnl every 
one hour it pulls and sends all the queued mail and then individual users
in the office connect to this linux server as a pop client and pull all their
mails. If this is what you want you can do it , write to me if you require
any further info.., read man fetchmail for more info on fetchmail.
