Good idea. But if I include this in the system filter:

if not first_delivery
then
finish
endif

logfile /var/log/exim4/mainlog

if foranyaddress $recipients ( $thisaddress is order@??? )
then
logwrite "$tod_log $message_id unseen deliver: \
copyaddress@??? errors_to it-operations@???"
    unseen deliver copyaddress@??? errors_to it-operations@???
    headers add "X-test-header: test"
endif

then only one message is actually sent, but the logwrite and headers add
commands are executed at at every retry. So the logfile looks like this
(I ran exim4 -qf at short intervals):
