you should also accept only authenticated smtp connections from your LAN (or
exchange only, if you can), and limit the number of  recipients per email.
Pretty sure you can limit the rate at which xchange will send emails out
(virtual smtp server). Then just check the xchange queues ... see them
grow...and wonder why did we (I'm in the same boat ;) ) went with xhcnage in
the first place :D
