[Exim] accounting problem

Hello exim-users,


we are using mail traffic accounting based on the exim acl patch and
we have a problem. When a mail cannot be delivered and it has to be
retried it is accounted again. So some big mails not being delivered
immediately sometimes give us wrong values in our accounting.
Has anyone solved this similar problem, our accounting afford with
that problem can be see below.
Is there a simple solution to that? May maintaining a table with all
message IDs and checking which one is first-time or retried be a
solution?
