Hi,

To change the ports that SMTP and POP3 use, you need to open the file

\\Winnt\System32\Drivers\etc\protocols

in there you will see SMTP and POP3. Just change them here and restart
your Exchange services.

You will not have IIS on the same box as Exchange 5.5. The SMTP portion of
IIS will compete with Exchange IMS.

Hope this helps.
