I don't know if this is useful, but in our situation the exchange "server" is 
actually two boxes with both the CAS and Hub Transport roles on them bound 
together via the software-based windows Network Load Balancer.  Since we never 
had issues relaying to our Exchange 2007 environment (which was based on 2K3 
not 2K8), I suspect that the NLB may be the cause.  I'm going to disable window 
scaling on one of our three relays and see if it crops up again on the other 
two.

Thanks,

Aaron
