They have no message id maby because of the way I tested using exim -bh.

Your messages have no Message-ID header; therefore I would guess that
Exim is adding a Message-ID header for you, but that because the
Message-ID it generates is different in test1 vs test2, the greylist
fails to work (because greylisting is based at least in part on
Message-ID).

So this greylisting implementation doesn't work for incoming messages
which have no Message-ID. Whether or not that is a problem is entirely
up to you.
