Can Exchange 2010 handle multiple companies and domains?

Hi Experts

Can Exchange Server 2010 handle multiple domains and companies.

Please note this is not a case of the same user having several domains, as in:
fred@mydomain1.com is the same person as fred@mydomain2.com
In the above example and for what I want "fred" would be two different people.

If it's possible, can someone point me to information please?

yes totally possible

all you need to do is set mydomain1.com and mydomain2.com as accepted domains (EMC -> organization config -> hub transport) then create an email address policy for each of the specified domains

Yes, you can handle multiple domains / companies in Exchange 2010, just like any version of Exchange.

My own 2010 test server gas about 30 domains on it and it works very well.

If you want to segregate the address lists, so that one company cannot see the other, please let me know.

Thanks for the answers so far alanhardisty and Akhater.

I have a few questions:
1. Does each username need to be unique, using my example of "fred" if I am combining two Exchange sets that both had "fred" (different people)? If possible I don't want to force one of them to send emails out to all contacts to change his address to something like "fred.smith"
2. Will OWA require two public IPs to facilitate https?
