MAIL and IIS help URGENT

Hi guys,

I am new to this group and I hope I am in the right one for the couple of
questions to have.

Question 1
I will be getting a ADSL 3 mps connection installed at my home-based office.
I run windows 2000 Server. I know how to setup and maintain the IIS server.
I would also like to connect and setup a mail server on the same machine?
I would like the ability to send and receive mail from the same IP number as
the IIS service. can this be done?


Question 2
I have 2 domain address I will be hosting me self. I would like to know how
to have both www address come in on port 80 on the same server and the same
ip number. ex: 123.456.789.0:80 listens for incoming requests for
www.abc.com and www.def.com but these are 2 deferent websites and can not be
linked together. I am in need of this information ASAP because I will be
needing to hand in the information to the ADSL supplier to finish the order.

Thanking you in advance for your help in these matters

It should be no problem. IIS for Windows 2000 comes with "mail and news"
servers (SMTP and NNTP), so you can configure your mail server right out
of the box. (If you had some other mail server in mind, then you'll
likely have to shut off or disable the IIS one).

As long as you're running the Server version of W2K as you say, you'll
be okay. IIS allows multiple "sites" to be defined and distinguished by
the DNS name. (The Pro version only allows one site).
