It looks very much like the problem is with the Exchange plugin. In fact
I seem to remember recent traffic on the Evo list which sounds somewhat
like what you are experiencing, but since I don't use Exchange and don't
in fact know anyone who does (lucky me :-) I tend to just delete these
messages and move on with a few muttered curses about the amount of
bandwidth they take up.

You can find the Evo list at

PS There is more than one Exchange plugin for Evo. Apparently a
third-party (but free) contribution called Brutus seems to work better,
though it requires more setup.
