I'll put something in the FAQ. This is not an error. It is perfectly
normal on a busy host. What it means is that some Exim process, probably
started by a queue runner, found that a message it wanted to deliver was
already being worked on by some other process. If you set log_level less
than 5 these warnings won't even be logged.
