iis smtp nntp:
I run mine and my brothers websites on my server and I use NO-IP because I

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

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.
