Do you use procmail to filter a mail and reinject it after this?
The problem is, that all mails that go to amavis will go into exim as a
new mail again. Thats why
amavis*2 + procmail = ~Received
136*2 + 88 = ~336
If you really depend on the logs in this way, you should use some other
way to scan your mails, like exiscan, so the mail never leaves exim.
