That's not the same thing as one public address shared by 12 computers via NAT. If I were the client, I'd want to make sure that the ISP is only billing me for one address and not twelve. I would at least want to double check what was really ordered. > Can I put EIMS or any mail server on a machine using the 192.168.0.x > internal addresses and still have it known to the world.

If the router can do port forwarding and you've only got one mail server behind it, you can forward ports 25 (SMTP) and 110 (POP3) from the router's public address to the internal address of the mail server.
