EXchange 5.5 connector shutdown consequences



We still have an old 5.5 server with an x.400 connector and a
directory replication connector. We've been utilizing an active
directory connector, pulling addresses for users in other sites in the
org, sites with different sub domain names (e.g.
subsidiary.company.com). We have our ADC with connection agreements to
our E2K3 SRS server.

What would happen if we killed the X.400 and replication connectors on
the 5.5 server? Would messages to the users in the other sites still
seek out the X.400 connection and bounce back the messages to our
users, or would the messages simply go out via our Internet
connection? Would we need to remove all the disabled user accounts, or
could we keep them?

We really want to kill the 5.5 server and leave the disabled user
accounts intact in our global address list (even though it will grow
stale).

Thanks.
