SMTP Server Question

| I run mine and my brothers websites on my server and I use NO-IP because I
have a dynamic IP. NO-IP gives us a mail server address (mail.mydomain.com).
I would like to set up my server to receive mail from his domain and let him
check it from his house. Just wondering if that is possible and if some one
could point me in the right direction.

Keith,
I know you didn't try to be unclear, but can you give more
information? You say "receive mail *from* his domain", are you really
saying you want to receive email *for* his domain? If this is what you
are asking, yes, it can be done... a single SMTP/POP3 server can
servce many domains at teh same time. (I have two running on my system
right now very happily--the only restriction is that a user account
has to be unique across the domains, so you can't have "Bob" on one
domain and a different user with "Bob" on teh second domain when
running with windows authentication (and windows domains).
Anyway, if you are doing as I think you are, repost and I'll see if I
can point you in the way that I went.

| Yes, you are correct. I need to set up three or four email addresses for his
domain and let him connect to my server and retrieve them using Oulook 2k3
the same way he would if he was checking his mail thru his ISP. I know this
is a rookie question but Im learning as I go.

| You can't do this with SMTP. SMTP is how Outllok will send messages,
POP is how it retrieves them. If you have Server 2003 you can install
POP, otherwise you'll need a third party mail server. Might look at
Mercury from pmail.com.
