I seriously doubt that exchange can do this. But I guess the error
must be someplace on their end.

You can reproduce it easily:

* send a mail there. When the mail is being blocked, stay connected.
* now change your Postfix to REMOVE the OFFENDING HEADER with the
  problematic IP from the mail:
  
  header_checks = pcre:/etc/postfix/header_checks
  
  with
  
  /the.ip.which.triggers.the.check/ IGNORE

* postfix reload
* send another mail, from the same ip! (that's why I said: stay connected)

So do we.

Of course. Everything else cannot be trusted anyway.
