Package: exim4
Version: 4.34-10
Severity: normal

I am using the exiscan support for spamassassin.

I am having trouble with exim4 delivering duplicated copies of messages.
Spamassassin is giving me trouble, using 40+ minutes of CPU time to
process some messages, but I would think that exim4 should be more
resilient in the face of this.

It seems that remote hosts for some reason believe the message did not
get delivered, even though it did, and try repeatedly to re-send it.
