SYMPTOMS
It is still possible to gain access to a mailbox via Outlook Web Access
after you disable the HTTP protocol in the Exchange Administrator program.
In order to completely disable this protocol, you must restart the World
Wide Web Services in Control Panel/Services.
If the HTTP protocol is disabled on the server, a client mailbox may still
be accessed by entering the logon address
http://servername/exchange/Logon.asp into the browser. After the service
has been stopped and restarted, the mailbox will no longer be accessible.
CAUSE
This is a design implementation of Microsoft Internet Information Server.
