Is is possible to use the built in SMTP server for IIS as a full email server. My company has just bought a W2k3 server to act as a web server for 7 domains. Each domain had an info@domain.com email that all it does it forward to another email. Is something like this possible with the IIS SMTP server?

I'm not sure, but I think to use the IIS SMTP server, you would need to use NT security as well. All your emial accounts would need to have access to the server.
I would use a third party mail server such as Merak or Exchange and keep the web serving separate fro the mail serving.

IIS SMTP is not meant to be a full functioned email server. It's lacking in many features. Primarily, it is intended for use to send email from scripts and such on the server. I've used it for a long time, and it's very, very limited.
