From Help in Exchange System Manager, under multiple SMTP Virtual Servers:

Create Additional SMTP Virtual Servers

To create a new SMTP virtual server:

Note By default the assigned IP address is (All Unassigned), which means the virtual server will use all available IP addresses not already used by the selected TCP port. This includes 127.0.0.1, the default IP address for the local host.

Start System Manager: On the Start menu, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Exchange, and then click System Manager.

Navigate to SMTP.
Servers
Server
Protocols
SMTP
Right-click SMTP, point to New, then click SMTP Virtual Server.
Complete the New SMTP Virtual Server Wizard.

When you select an IP address, remember that the IP address/TCP port combination must be unique on every SMTP virtual server. The recommended TCP port is 25, the SMTP standard TCP port. More than one virtual server can use the same TCP port, provided they are configured with different IP addresses.

Note If the SMTP virtual server will be using a new IP address, you will have to first configure that new IP address before it can be used by Exchange.

If the default startup setting for SMTP Service is set to Automatic, the new SMTP virtual server will start on its own. If the virtual server doesn't start, it may be because you selected an IP address/TCP port combination that is already in use.

Configure the new SMTP virtual server.

Note If you do configure an IP address/TCP port combination that is already in use, a pop-up window will alert you. Select a TCP port that isn't being used by another virtual server on that IP address.

Looks like you can't use the same IP, but it's simple enough to add an IP to acomputer (Go into TCP/IP properties, where it shows the address, go to advanced and add one). Hope this helps!

You don't even need to setup another virtual server. Under Global Settings and Internet Message Formats, just add the second domain.
You can also adjust your recipient policies if you so desire.

Set up Exchange 2000 to host multiple domains

***Very Important NOTE *********
After you copy the URL a space or a %20 maybe gets inserted in the URL when you paste it into your browser. Delete any spaces or such characters from the URL for the page to be loaded.

I answered a similar question in another thread, here was my answer, hope it helps:
-----------------------

The way that I do it is as follows:

Setup your MX records to point to the one server.
For instance,
I have two domains: mydomain1.com and mydomain2.com.

In my DNS zones I have created two host records,
mail.mydomain1.com -> 10.10.10.1
and
mail.mydomain2.com -> 10.10.10.1

I've then created two MX records:

mydomain1.com -> mail.mydomain1.com
mydomain2.com -> mail.mydomain2.com

(I've given them both mail server priority of 10, which I believe is the default).

OK, DNS should now be setup correctly to handle the mail stuff, now lets configure Exchange.

Crank Open the Exchange Admin MMC.
DoubleClick on Global Settings.
Double click on Internet Message Formats.
In the right pane you should see the domains you accept mail for.
Right click Internet Message Format and click New-> Domain.
Type in the domain mydomain1.com if it isn't already there.
Do the same for mydomain2.com.

OK, Exchange will now recieve mail for valid email addresses for the two domains. You still need to create the addresses for the users.

Expand the Recipients tree and double click recipient policies. Double click the default policy and click the E-mail Addresses(Policy) tab.
Click new and select SMTP Address.
In the Address box type @mydomain1.com and click OK. Do the same for mydomain2.com.
You can right click the default policy and click apply this policy now.

OK, Now go into Active Directory Users and Computers, and click a user. They should have email addresses for both mydomain1.com and mydomain2.com. Test.
It's been a while since I implemented this, so hopefully this works. :) IT should, if not let me know.

Have fun,

Jordan
