grep -i exchange shows no matches, and grep -i smtp only brings up one
match where it says "The SMTP service of IIS was used to handle outgoing
mail", and this is referring to the webservers themselves.

Only this one (which I like, and will probably quote at parties ;) :

    Still, anything is possible if you can throw enough hardware at it, and if
    you are willing and able to tweak software until it looks like what you
    should have installed in the first place.

The rest of your mail was about Exchange and how it isn't suited to Hotmail,
which nobody said anyway.  Sorry for jumping on you anyway.
