[MlMt] How to remove annoying messages from Exchange

[aisrael]

Thank you for pointing to this issue. I have had the same problem for 
years, with hundreds of similar messages.  The sender is claimed to be : 
*Microsoft exchange server 2010*. There is no way to get rid of these 
messages, irrespective of the way I access my institution’s server. At 
some point I thought this was linked to a Gmail account that I used as a 
backup, and that there was a problem transferring some mails to Gmail. 
But this was just an hypothesis.

So if anyone has a solution to get rid of these messages, he/she 
deserves all my gratitude.
