Very New Need Help

I am trying to set up a mail server at work. I thought I knew alot about
computers until I took on this project. I build all of our computers and do
some limited networking. Our company has a web adress (domain) but we do not
serve it from here. We want to set up in house e-mail using MS exchange
server 2003 but I am not sure where to begin. Our domain is
www.parkmazdaakron.com and we would like to have e-mail adresses like:
jsmith@parkmazdaakron.com. If anyone can help me with this, I would really
apreciate it. I assume that we can use the parkmazdaakron.com for our e-mail
since we own the domain but I have no idea how to do it. Thank you for any
help you can offer.

What type of internet connection does you house have?

You need to have your domain transfered to your IP address first. Then
you need to setup your DNS server with the proper MX records that point
to your domain.
