I have seen this problem with MS SMTP talking to mail servers such as qmail.
MS Smtp is not RFC compliant.. If I recall its due to a carriage return line
feed problem. I am not sure how exchange does mail. See if many connections
are opened on the exim server if so this might be the case if not just
ignore my email :)

Subject: [Exim] Problems interworking with Exchange 2000
We're having a few problems interworking with Microsoft Exchange 2000.
This is set up to use our exim mail hub as a smarthost (bham.ac.uk).
A problem then ocurrs when trying to receive email. The following
message appears in the logs
17Um1g-0004B7-00 SMTP data timeout (message abandoned) on connection from
is1.bham.ac.uk (is1.adf.bham.ac.uk) [147.188.129.77]
Has anyone seen anything similar or got any suggestions for what
may be going wrong/how to fix it? (a skip for the 2000 servers
is not an option).
