Does anyone know how to disable POP3 and have SMTP and LDAP listen to Localhost?

Not sure what you mean?

SMTP and LDAP will already be listening on localhost?

POP3 can simply be disabled as a service, if you have Exchange installed which I am guessing you do???

Ok someone asked me this but I wasn't sure what they meant either so I decided to look around for an answer. Apparently they were having problems disabling POP3 while keeping SMTP and LDAP enabled? I found how to install SMTP without installing POP3. Is LDAP installed seperate from POP3?

In Windows-based networks LDAP = Active Directory.  (or if you have a very old mail system, Exchange 5.5)

So to stop LDAP from listening, the system must have the domain controller role removed.
