Secure Exchange messaging   

Customer is a large company cooperating with many parnetrs. He want to 
exchange secure mail with parners.
Is it possible to generate a certificate using builded into Windows 2003 PKI 
on customer site Root CA and distribute certificate to 
partner domain and that's way to secure send /received messages ?

Please, advice me

There's a very fine line between there network, the internet, and your 
network.  It's all about permissions and routing.
That said, you can do the same things that you can do on your network, 
depending on network configuration. Typically, you have to be able to 
contact the RA or the CA (often both) to figure out revocation etc. 
Otherwise, what would be the point right?  That's not often allowed, but 
instead folks use a trusted third-party CA such as Thawte, Verisign, etc.

There are other ways as well.  Have you seen what Tumbleweed products can 
for you for example? Individual credentials for s/mime or PGP?
