Could you possibly explain in more detail what you mean? Exim will only
do anything with Resent headers if the message it is given contains at
least one such header. In that case, the RFC specifies that they should
be treated as a set of headers used instead of the normal set. For that
reason, Exim will ensure, for example, that a Resent-Date header is
present if there isn't one already.

Some program that feeds mail to Exim must be putting them in. It won't
put them in by itself, unless there is a bug, which I will fix as soon
as I have some hard evidence that allows me to reproduce it. Do you have
a copy of what is being fed to Exim in a problem case?
