iis smtp nntp : Win2k3 email service VS Exchange2k

Hi all. I have a server with Win2k3 Server that I use for Web hosting. At
the moment, I use the Win2k3 own services for the mail part, but I've
noticed it's a bit limited.

Now, I own a license for Exchange 2000, and I'd like to know if you suggest
me to install and use it.
Honestly, most of the work I need done is perfectly done by the basic
services, but for example I cannot set up a mailing list system...

Is Exchange Server that much complicated? Will it inherit my previous
mailslots, or will I have to reinsert them all?

Hello,

These links maybe helps you:

"Comparing the POP3 Service and Configuring Coexistence"
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=46e9cdd0-95f0-4db6-a4d2-874f4abb09e5&displaylang=en

"Advanced Mail Server Configurations" (distribution lists are however not
included in that paper)
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/techinfo/overview/advmail.mspx

You will need to configure Exhcange separately, you cannot use anything of
what is configured in the POP3 Service (as far as i know).

Exchange can be complicated. And nothing will carry over. You might
want to investigate a separate SMTP/POP mail server, some very good
ones are free.

Suggestions?
Honestly I'm not afraid from complicated things, even more if I've paid big
money for them :-)
Different is if you say that Exchange is not the solution, maybe because
it's not meant to be used as a sort of public mail provider...
