I saw log from MS Exchange. It appear from log that MS Exchange has
delivered the message correctly to the Postfix SMTP gateway.

On the other hand, Postfix logs show me not only the rejection from the
destination server but also a long list of retries..

Why Postfix try to send message more and more, if it rejected? And then,
why MS Exchange points out the message as delivered even if the message
is really rejected?
