An error in the form of a lost update is quite unlikely to be noticed. How
would the recipient of the "extra" message know it was extra rather than the
result of an over-exuberant policy?

Except for our own auto-replies (which use MySQL for the record-keeping and
are not done in Exim), I pay no attention other than to curse and discard.

(I sort of understand out of office autoreplies. I have trouble
understanding why home users are sending "burgle here" signs around the
Internet.)
