Subject: [exim] Duplicate emails
We are getting duplicate emails. It seems to be the same senders,
however not every one of their emails duplicate. 5% of mails from
Charter.net will duplicate, 10% of mails from Cox will duplicate, 100%
of mails from Interfax.net will duplicate.

Interfax (a mail to fax provider) is the only sender that consistently
send duplicate emails. When I asked them to fix it, they said:

"it seems that we are having problems sending you the e-mails and then
getting confirmations from the mail server that it received them - and
that is causing us to resend the e-mails over and over."

Anyone have any ideas?

My exim.conf follows:
