Registering Domain Names

When I set up my Server I gave my domain a name, let's say it's called MyDomain.com. Now I would like to register my domain name but I discovered that MyDomain.com is already in use. Supposing I don't wish to buy this name, does this mean I cannot register a domain name I can use on my LAN because I am stuck with the one I gave? I appreciate I should have throught about naming my domain before setting up my server.

Hi Pete,

So if I registered my domain name as peter.com then I could use my e-mail exchange server to send and receive e-mail?
Currently I can send e-mail on my lan using the username.MyDomain.com structure.

How do I configure my Exchange? Do I simply change each users e-mail address to be the structure of my registered domain name?

So if I do as specified above, then I won't need to use e-mail forwarding?
