Hmmm - ok, let me look at this a little deeper (and thanks for your input!).
In answer to your questions:
Exchange has its own domain, but only handles internal email (so
outbound is Exchange -> ASSP -> (clamSMTP) -> Xmail -> INTERNET or
inbound is INTERNET->ASSP -> (clamSMTP) -> XMail -> Exchange). Xmail
does forward the error messages to Exchange by using "smtprelay" in
cmdalias - it does not actually have a mail account for the Exchange
user, it just relays. Postmaster does receive errors as well, but they
seem inconsistent with the others - I need to research this point a bit
more and see if I am receiving more than 1 error to this account as
well, but I don't think I am.
It appears that I am not getting one email for each failure - rather, it
appears to be some random number of bounce emails (sometimes 3,
sometimes 5, and so on).
Two complete examples (from the same failure) follow:
