I am willing to bet it ends up being Veritas' crappy exchange client.
(you also have to have Outlook installed I think - yeah, on the server.)
We have it choking on people's exchange mailboxes all the time. Although
we suspended a guy last week, disabled his email box and didn't notice
any errors in the backup. We have noticed the sheer volume of errors
when Exchange mailbox permissions don't match permissions on the
information store. (Some call it your "M" drive.)

Oh well, I would have passed the buck myself... Funny, we also run
postfix and qmail at my job. Nothing is perfect but we have a heck of a
lot less trouble with those two...
