Turning off mail delivery in Exchange 2003

[strayrog]

Is there a way that mail can be turned off but the calendars remain up and functional in Exchange 2003? I need Exchange not to send/receive mail but have the calendars and public folders still work. How can I do this?

Thanks

While I wonder at your motives, you can simply remove the virtual smtp connector and remove the email accounts from the POP connector.

I believe once the pop accounts are removed, by default the system turns of mail service, sensing that their aren't any accounts present.

Erm, the POP accounts? No.

The only way to do this is to disable the SMTP connector, remove the SMTP addresses, set the internal, inbound and outbound size limits to 0KB although without email you cannot do meeting requests.

What are you doing for email and why are you doing this?

I currently have Mac server directly connected to the internet acting as my mail server. I also have an exchange server on the inside network. Both are up and running but he field people can not get access into the exchange server without first logging on to the vpn. I am hoping to connect my exchange server to the internet to give the field people the same access of shared calendaring, meeting requests and etc that exchange offers.

How can I hook up my exchange server to the outside internet and keep my network secure? Or should I just start a new thread?

Thanks
