You must have MTA Stacks service to run the Exchange 2000 and Exchange
2003 "Move User" operation, and for message transfer between Exchange
2000 and Exchange 2003-based servers and X.400-based servers. When a
mailbox is being moved, it is marked as "in transit" by the information
store. Any mail that is delivered to the source store during the move
will be held until the move is complete. After the mailbox move is
complete, any queued messages are submitted to the Exchange 2000 MTA
service for delivery to the new server. If the MTA service is not
running, any mail that is delivered while the mailbox is being moved
will be stranded. Additionally, the Exchange product group does not
perform testing with the MTA service disabled. It is considered a core
Exchange service, and it should not be disabled.

In other words, these specific instances in a native mode environment,
and in mixed mode with a 5.5 server, it handles message flow. So while
they don't support the disable, it doesn't really hurt anything in
regards to mail flow.

That's interesting, so what is the purpose of the MTA in an Exchange
2003 only setup?
Cheers,
