Seriously? So someone banging on your web server repeatedly, bringing it to its knees is your web server having a serious weakness rather than a DOS attack?
You really should learn how computers work.
Maybe you should run a server which is exposed to the Internet at large sometime and see what happens. I've watched a server get port scanned and hammered with requests on every available port many times a day. In this day and age, any commercial server software should have proper throttling capabilities built into it, and throttling of all client connections should be the default setting.
That said, it's no excuse for Apple to write a poorly behaved client.

Batch files ought to be enough for anybody.

Now, it's hard to imagine how a client bug would cause excessive log growth OR server performance. Clearly, this is an Exchange bug.
So it's bad for Apple that Microsoft has a bug in their server hardware. Amazing.
I'm guessing that Vodaphone and Three must also have bugs in their systems -or d'ya think that Apple's shit does stink after all?
