Thanks Darrell.
So if my server's local IP is 192.168.0.4 and I have simply installed
the DNS service, I can change Imail's SMTP settings to include
192.168.0.4 as one of my DNS servers? In my Network Connection applet
in the control panel, I can also put 192.168.0.4 as my primary DNS IP?
(I also have 2 external ones from my ISP.) And I can do this without
adding any forward or reverse lookup zones?
On my old server, someone had setup a Forward Lookup Zone....
Could this be the problem with not being able to reach certain domains
via SMTP (the other problem I posted earlier)? It seems like there was
domain name resolution, but our connection was being halted by the
recipient server - I'm not sure why DNS would be involved in that - just
checking.
Thanks.

Kevin,
All you need to do is install the service and your already in caching
mode. Just limit the outsides ability to query it since you will need
to have recursion enabled and MSDNS does not allow you to set what ip
blocks can and can not query the dns service.
Any problems let me know and I can help you out.

Does anyone have any simple instructions on how to setup the DNS
service for Windows 2003 Server?
We only host 2 domains and our DNS records are hosted by Network
Solutions. Our old server (windows 2000 server) had the DNS service
setup already when I took over the admin, so I never had to set it up
from scratch.
So we're only using the DNS service to allow Imail to run more
efficiently - we're not actually using the DNS service to act as the
authority for these domains.
As you can probably tell, the simpler the instructions, the better ;)
Thanks - Kevin
