Todd, <caveat>I'm not speaking as an Ipswitch employee in this reply, my answer comes from personal experience prior to joining Ipswitch.</caveat>
I have only run across one situation that required having Office installed on a web/mail server and that was for a funky third-party spell checker that used the spell check engine that came as part of Word/Office. Yep, server-side spell checking, but, if the user didn't have Office installed it at least offered a solution. Since you noted that the Office version was 2k, it struck a chord in my memory because that was the version of Office that was required for the spell checker. It sounds like you were able to get it out of there without any adverse affects so treat this message as purely informational. Ric Ipswitch, Inc.

No, I think they may have had a site running on there at one time, but it is just a mail server now. I went through everything that was installed and didn't see anything that might use it. So I went ahead and removed.

It may be needed if you have applications on there that need to use the COM objects included with office. Do you also run a web server from the same machine?
