Routing different domain addresses to peer-to-peer on XP/OL2003

[outlookneedhelp]

Dear all,
This may be a no-brainer, but I am new to Outlook. I have been given
the following task:
There are 3 pc users (XP / OL2003) on a peer-to-peer network.
They have a domain e.g. xyz.com.
Person A needs to be able to send and receive as (e-mail address removed)
Person B needs to be able to send and receive as (e-mail address removed)
Person C needs to be able to send and receive as (e-mail address removed)
and also receive any other e-mails which are not a or b or (e-mail address removed)

Can this be performed through rules?
I contacted their ISP but they were unhelpful.
Person 1 at the ISP said that they (the ISP) would have to create
aliases.
Person 2 at the ISP said this was wrong and Outlook would have to be
configured and they would charge (a lot) for someone to come down to do
it.
I have spent considerable time looking in the Outlook newsgroups and a
couple of Outlook books at the library but have not found any suitable
replies/info as to what would seem to be an elementary question.
Would some kind soul please help this tortured one.

Thank you.

You need a mail server that will deliver the incoming messages to at least
one mailbox. Do you have that?

Depends on how your mail server and accounts are set up.

I contacted their ISP but they were unhelpful.
Person 1 at the ISP said that they (the ISP) would have to create
aliases.

That's one way, but it's not the best way.

Person 2 at the ISP said this was wrong and Outlook would have to be
configured and they would charge (a lot) for someone to come down to
do it.

This is a lie.

The easiest thing would be for your ISP to create separate mailboxes for A
and B and have aliases that go to C's mailbox for all other addresses.

Thanks for the prompt reply.

Sorry I have not replied earlier but am in England.
Also apologise for repeat post. The first (in fact only ever) post came
up with server error so thought it had not gone through - it had!

They do not have a mail server. I have looked at slipstick.com but am
baffled by the choices and I'm not into Linux. All that's needed is the
above function. Could you recommend me a suitable mail server or should
I pursue the ISP?

Again, thanks.

They absolutely need one.

Take it up with the ISP would be my suggestion. You already pay them and I
can't imagine them not having a mail server already available for you.
