If (some of) the archives are private, it's a little trickier because
you have to maintain the 'private' CGI and the lists for
authentication.

My management want to move our listing function to Exchange 2k10....however we have a need to maintain the archives on the existing mailman server so ppl can search them.
Is it possible to disable all of mailman's functions except search/browsing of the archive?

Exchange list mails to the archive, too. (perhaps, say, for
continuoty reasons).
In either case, perhaps the simplest approach is to stop Mailman and
not start it again, remove the Mailman aliases or whatever the MTA
uses to deliver to Mailman, and remove the 'listinfo' and perhaps
other wrappers from Mailman's cgi-bin/ directory leaving maybe only
'private' and anything relating to archive searching.

subscribers, control new subscriptions, add the Exchange address
as an allowed sender and sort out implicit (if needed), carrying on
from there.
I've not played with Exchange 2010 lists. Are they any good? RFC
compliant? Handling bounces?
You may or may not also want to remove Mailman's crontab so password
reminders aren't sent.
:) but maybe not the archive building...reminders aren't sent.
