Use max_rcpt in the delivery transport. It defaults to 100, so maybe you
don't need to fix it.

Also, think about increasing remote_max_parallel for efficiency. Its
default value is 2, but your messages may be delivered quicker if you make
the value larger.

It won't. You'll get one message per 100 users delivered to the Exchange
server. Whether it then stores one copy per user is an Exchange issue that
you can't influence.
