Sure thing. The best way is to use an IIS header redirect. Open the
email.florida.com website's properties, then instead of pointing it to a
directory, point it to a URL, like so:

  http://mailserver.florida.com:8383

Hit apply, and test by entering email.florida.com in a browser. The only
downside to this is that folks will still see the non-standard port, but
at least they won't have to type it.

On a related note, is it just me, or is anyone else annoyed that when
entering a non-standard port in IE, you MUST prepend the "http://"; to the
URL? Netscape handles this so much better. With IE, people sometimes think
your site is down if they try to go to mail.domain.com:8383 without the
protocol. Even the IE6 beta has this annoying behavior. Oh well... :)
