Using mail.mydomain.local for internal users should be fine - can you ping
that name or otherwise resolve the address? What error message do you get in
Outlook when you try to connect to that name?

Cheers

That is not a problem at all. It is actually common practice by many.

How is that a problem? IT should be able to connect. Are you trying to
connect using OL2003 / RPC over HTTPS or something?
