It doesn't matter, as long as the IP address is on the same server and a public one.

Don't use ISPConfig's DNS Manager for this domain because zonedit.com's name servers are authoritative for this domain!

See above.

I know that in slackware, it can be done using "pine", but i don't believe i have this in debian.

Let's say you have a user web1_test with the email address
test@troop4051.org, and it has been created by ISPConfig. Your server has the IP address 24.182.139.77. So in your email client (e.g. Outlook Express, Thunderbird) you use 24.182.139.77 as SMTP- and POP3-server, specify web1_test as user and his password. Then you can use this account to send an email from
test@troop4051.org to himself.
