846.0. "Disabled NT Accounts and Exchange Response" by OHFSS1::RBROWN (Hope = Deferred Reality) Wed Jan 29 1997 15:05

    Question:  If an NT account is disabled, will Exchange still respond to
    incoming mail, i.e.:  Out-of-Office mail gets sent, etc.  ?  My thinking is
    that it will.  That doesn't mean that it should ....  8^)

	Yes. Exchange still seems to respond. The mailbox isn't dependent on the status of the primary Windows NT account it's linked to. --Ron

	Not only that, but Exchange's directory services are so weak that if you have users that are being forwarded mail by the inbox assistant and those users get deleted off of the Exchange server, the inbox assistant continues to bounce messages trying to send to those users. Then it's really fun when a user with the same name as one of those deleted joins the company and starts getting that autoforwarded mail. That happened in my department.
