This is a Microsoft confirmed problem and they have a
A TARGET="TOP" 
HREF="http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q224/9/83.ASP"bug description 
and fix/A.

 I'm trying to make a case against using Exchange (based on the fact that it
 doesn't obey standards) and this would be really helpful.

Interestingly enough the patch mention on this page looks like it never
made it in the official "service pack"s. Although I have this URL for
about 1.5 years now.
To fix the server hosting our NT webservers we'd to pay some $200 bucks
for calling M$ hotline and it took them 3 days to mail the patch.
So much on "how to make easy money": write broken software and let them
pay for fixes.

URL on Exchange retrying like mad

Looking for a little help... I seem to remember that in certain cases,
Exchange will retry immediately after a temporary error, generating a mail
storm. I also seem to remember that there was a URL (possibly on
microsoft.com) describing the problem.

Thanks,
