Now, to prevent double logging, I've set up the filter like this:

# Exim filter

if error_message
then
finish
endif

logfile /var/log/exim4-prod/mainlog

if foranyaddress $recipients ( $thisaddress is order@??? )
then
   if first_delivery
   then
      logwrite "$tod_log $message_id unseen deliver: ..."
      headers add "X-test-header: test"
   endif


unseen deliver copyaddress@??? errors_to it-operations@???
endif

This seems almost fine. However, yesterday I encountered a very
strange error (next-to-last line):

2008-06-30 16:21:33 1KDKG5-000205-68 <= edi@... [4.5.6.7] for order@???
2008-06-30 16:21:34 1KDKG5-000205-68 unseen deliver: copyaddress@??? errors_to it-operations@???
2008-06-30 16:21:34 1KDKG5-000205-68 => order@???
2008-06-30 16:21:34 1KDKG5-000205-68 mailserver-2.outside.com [9.10.11.12] Connection timed out** copyaddress@??? F=<edi@...> P=<it-operations@???> R=dnslookup T=remote_smtp: retry time not reached for any host after a long failure period
2008-06-30 16:21:34 1KDKG5-000205-68 Completed QT=1s

Any ideas what this means? Could this mean that in some retry file
(/var/spool/exim4/db/retry ?) it says that the domain outside.com
(or the mail server mailserver-2.outside.com) has been unreachable
for more than the maximum retry time (retry configuration:
F,4h,15m; G,16h,1h,1.5; F,4d,6h) -- i.e. about 5 days? My tests
with domain outside.com started on June 25th, six days ago.
