We have had some outstanding issues with Microsoft with this.

First of all Exchange/Outlook seems to discard all X-MailScanner-* (and
perhaps others) headers when a message is forwarded as an attachment.
This has happened a few times but probably in some freak situation with
MIME-headers, RTF etc combined.

The other was the fact Exchange changes the body of NDR's in such a way
the user can't trust the information he gets. Students were used to get
the correct information about which server did not accept the message
and why. Exchange changes that information (leaving out the server that
gives the error).
