can i setup a mail server in a PC without internet connection

[nince_tutes]

Hi guys, i'm new to ubuntu, i want to setup a mail server in a company (only locally, in intranet). We do not have a real domain name, so my purpose is only to setup a mail server to allow users to send email from their PC (running in Windows XP) to each other.

My big problem is that in the PC that i want to setup this server, i have no internet connection, so is there any way to install the required tools in such this server?

I repeat, i have no internet connection and my only purpose is to setup a mail server for sending emails only locally to the LAN, i have 20 users running in Windows XP.

My second question is:

Is it possible to setup a mail server in Ubuntu Desktop, or it require Ubuntu Server.

and my last question is:

Is there a simple, simple step-by-step guide to setup a mail server?

Thank u from ALBANIA

Yes, you can set it up without internet, and yes you can run it on desktop, you don't need server.
