Exchange Server. Fairly common e-mail server for NT Networks.

This is correct. Exchange supports several different formats of mail
retrieval which allows for standard internet e-mail clients to attach to it.
If your network has DNS, you could use the DNS name for the Exchange server,
or if your PC had been Windows based, you could have used the Mail Server's
NT Name.

You won't. The address book portion (and non-email portions) of Exchange
server are only accessible by Outlook-comatible e-mail clients that
authenticate through NT Security. You are authenticating in a clear-text
mode, so the server assumes that you are a 'remote' connection to the NT
server and not a proper user of the domain, so it won't feed you the address
book. Even Outlook Express (even though it's an MS product) won't get the
address book, nor will Outlook configured as an Internet Mail client (as
opposed to a workgroup/corporate mail client)
