Thanks! That is exactly what I needed.<br />
I knew it wasn't that much of an issue - just wanted to hear it from some other people!

We currently are running 3 Domino servers, a main mail server, a Traveler server, and a BES server. We just decommissioned our last Blackberry smartphone, so we no longer require the BES server. I have some Domino admin experience, but not a lot.<br />
I would like to decommission the BES server and ensure that all references (connections, replication, etc.) are removed.<br />
Can someone give me a list of the steps I would need to perform?

Decommission Lotus Notes Domino BES server

Lotus Software produced the Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet program, and later developed Lotus Notes, a groupware and email system. Following its acquisition by IBM, the Notes and Domino client/server collaborative platform were expanded to include functions such as email, calendars, to-do lists, contacts management, teamrooms, discussion forums, file sharing, microblogging, instant messaging, blogs, and user directories. IBM also release SmartSuite, a comprehensive office suite, and followed that with Symphony, unrelated to the Lotus suite of the same name.

Within Internet message handling services (MHS), a message transfer agent or mail transfer agent (MTA) or mail relay is software that transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another using a client–server application architecture. A MTA implements both the client (sending) and server (receiving) portions of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The terms mail server, mail exchanger, and MX host may also refer to a computer performing the MTA function. The Domain Name System (DNS) associates a mail server to a domain with mail exchanger (MX) resource records containing the domain name of a host providing MTA services.
