POP3 server seperate from Exchange 2000 Server
Hello Experts;
I am running Exchange 2000 in my domain to handle SMTP email for all users. I would like to add a non-exchange server to my network to handle POP3 email.
Is it possible to do this? If so, is it as simple as setting up a DNS record to point to the POP3 server and using an address like account@pop3.domainname.co m ??
Or is this something a little more complicated? Just as an FYI, I want to seperate the POP3 from the Exchange server so I do not have to buy additional licenses for my spam filtering server. The pop3 mailboxes will only be internal to my domain and will not be used for actual users.
Thanks for any advice or help.

bkellyboulderit - Thanks for the comments.
Well, I guess I don't really want to setup a seperate domain, just a seperate server to handle pop3 mailboxes. As I mentioned, the pop3 mailboxes will not be for actual users but just tempory mailboxes for project email. We use a project mgmt package that imports email into it sql database by connecting to a pop3 account. So my hope was to be able to add a totally seperate email server from the Exchange server to handle pop3. I wasn't planning using Exchange for this, just a simple mail server package
I checked my spam filtering software (GFI Mail Essentials) before posting to see if it would allow be to exclude certain mailboxes, but as far as I can tell it does not.

Excellent, thanks for the help!
PS> Could you elaborate a little more on why you want to do this? I mean why a separate domain? :-)
