Yes it is, but why would you when there are lots of free mail servers out there.

If there's a custom need, then there's a need for custom software.

If you want to build a CMS, for them to interact only with each other, than PHP can do that to, but still there are lots of great CMS's out there.

"if possible how?" <-- by programming. If you don't know where to start, it means you probably don't know how to do it and should read up your topic until you know what you want to do.

For example, do you know how email works? What's POP3, SMTP, SSL Encryption?

Good luck,
