1. Install some proxy on W2k AS, like ISA server.
2. You can either install your own mailing application or just mail client that will be server.
EG:
1. You can install Exchange Server and configure users to have their mail adressies. In that case you only need active connection 0-24 so people could send mail to employed and you are your own ISP, you just use aDSL services from ISP.
2. Second solution is to install mail client onto server, like WinRoute or WinGate an to create one mailbox at ISP server, like companyname@domain.com. Then, when somebody send mail to user1@domain.com and user2@domain.com your ISP will put those mails into single companyname@domain.com mailbox. When you connect to ISP you will download all mails from single mailbox and WinRoute/WinGate will read header of each mail and find out is it mail for user1, 2 or user32. In that case you do not need 0-24 connection, you can schedule internet server to connect every 30 minutes to download mail from companyname@domain.com address. For that you need to ask that service from ISP. Call them and tell them what you want. It's mail relaying feature. Maybe it's better if you are not experienced with mail servers. Create user accounts in WinRoute.
This is only list of your options.

Well,... is a little more.
1. What is the strategy for your company to connect to the internet. A good solution here is to use NAT.
2. How do you see your name space. Wnat to use same domain name inside of teh company as the domain name registered?
3. What mail server to use
4. Where the mail server will be located? If it is on your side or on the ISP side.
My advice:
Use NAT (is part of the RRAS from W2k Server).
Name space internal and external to have common name. EG: mydomain.com.
Keep the mailserver inside of the company LAN.
Your ISP will host (sure) your DNS primary zone. Your ISP should give you then also an IP address or more. ONe of them will be assigned to your router (your W2k server with NAT). If you have more, you can use another one for the mail server. Configure NAT for routing incoming requests for SMTP and POP3 to your mail server.
DNS stuff. Your internal DNS should have authority on a zone and should not be a root server, so that you will be able to add as forwarder the DNS server from your ISP.
In the internal zone you should have a domain: "mydomain.com". Remember! The "mydomain.com" from your internal DNS and "mydomain.com" from your ISP (the one that you are paying for) will have different records. Actually there will be no link between them!! Using same name, users will have same email addresses inside of the company and outside.
