not really. a message may have several recipients, and thus several
deliveries but it is only completed once, exim prints that line when
it deletes the spool file.

it comes from exim when messages are killed from the command-line. eg:

exim -Mg 1XLQuy-0004h2-Gn

2014-08-24 06:05:16 1XLQuy-0004h2-Gn cancelled by root
2014-08-24 06:05:16 1XLQvU-0004UB-FT <= <> R=1XLQuy-0004h2-Gn
2014-08-24 06:05:16 1XLQuy-0004h2-Gn Completed

exim -Mrm XLQr0-0004TV-1D

2014-08-24 06:01:04 1XLQr0-0004TV-1D removed by root
2014-08-24 06:01:04 1XLQr0-0004TV-1D Completed

Ok, I'll look into that in the new week.
I've got same damage control from a sql injection exploit (on a php
page) to handle tomorrow and then commissioning a new server that I
want this feature for

That would have been useful 5 years ago, I think I've
found them all now.
