Unless it has changed since the release candidates, out of the box W2K
installs its own SMTP server but configures it to bounce all mail it
receives.

Since the W2K SMTP server would be running when you start W2K and thus
bound to port 25, Turnpike would not be able to collect mail via SMTP.

As far as I am aware we have no current plans to support W2K.
