Microsoft Exchange Server is Microsoft's version of a mail server, but I am not sure if this is the most simple version. How many users do you need to issue accounts for? Are they going to access mail from the internal network or through a web based application? Let us know your enviorment and we can get you some options.

at the moment for the @klockworks.tv there are 5 e-mail acounts for each person, so l want to know how l can be able to get those e-mails sent to the mail server and then sent out and all e-mail going out goes out through our mail server then out to the people we want,

mainly l am doing this as optusnet doesn't like my mum sending out nore than 30 e-mails a time, as it is for her work as it is new letters etc.

so we have the 5 e-mails set up with .tv and want to be able to send in and out through out mail server and not through optusnet.

if you want to find out more information just post.

Do you have static IP for the connection in home?
I think you should acuired a static IP and then set MX record for the domain to the home.
For the outgoing solution I think you could just point the SMTP server to your mailserver at home.
