How does Exchange Server 2007 handles a disabled Active Directory user account that is associated with an Exchange Server 2007 mailbox? Will the mailbox continue to recieve email?

No, disabling active directory user doesn't stop receiving emails. You need to do either of below two things... Put delivery restriction with a blank distribution group into "Accept Message from ->Only senders in the following list" and tick "Require that all senders are authenticated" in message delivery restriction tab. Recipient Properties > Mail Flow Settings Tab > Message Delivery Restrictions http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb125046.aspx Set storage quota to 0. Mailbox User Properties > Mailbox Settings Tab > Storage Quotas http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb125201.aspx Amit Tank | MVP Exchange Server | MCITP: EMA | MCSA: M | http://ExchangeShare.WordPress.com

Disabled objects will contine to receive emails. Mails flow to will not affected. Except the user will be able login withthe account. Please who has access to the mailbox will still be able to see the mail in the mailbox and even perform send as if they have send as permission on the diabled mailbox.
