Actually, there *is* a way to do this.

This is assuming that your www.domain.com and mail.domain.com IP addresses
are the same. Set up two domains under IIS - one to server the web content
as normal. The other one is set up to serve requests only for
mail.domain.com. Inside that domain, you set up an index.asp file which
contains the following:

<%Response.Redirect "http://mail.domain.com:8383"%>

When the user types http://mail.domain.com, his browser will be redirected
invisibly (i.e. he won't know) to http://mail.domain.com:8383.

You could also set up the 404 error for the mail.domain.com domain so that
it also points to the index.asp file. This way, if the user goes to
http://mail.domain.com/anything it still redirects to the :8383 address.
