How should exim know that's a duplicate message. Exim will send the
each message exactly once, except it doesn't see the final '2xx OK'
of the peer.

(Duplicate detection is not as easy as it looks at a first glance.

    - same message id -- doesn't have to be a dup (messages
      going via some list manager keep the original message id, but
      are no dup, the headers are changed, sometimes the body is
      changed)


    - other indicators for dups?


I'd say, the only way is comparing the complete message (header and
body). I can imagine some kind of ratelimit, based on the hash of the
message headers and body. Maybe some shortcut can be to use only the
complete message headers.

I'd try to use some ratelimit keyed on the messages body.
