That's fairly clean as is, but..

Untested and unresearched, but probably viable:

- Exim 'has to know' as it make deliveries from queue when the *last* one has
been encountered, (even if it is also the FIRST) as only then will it delete the
message & attachment(s), headers, and stored variables from that part of the fs.

- Without having (yet) looked at either queue-as-it-is-traversed to observe a
chane, or grep'ed the code, I suspect this is triggered when the last address
has been 'used up'.

Question is how practical it would be to tap into that as either a flag (BEFORE
erasure, of course..) or as a declining count.

There may already be such a 'hook' used to prevent router looping or some such
that could be put to this purpose...

HTH,
