Funny that you should post this query to the sa-exim mailing list -
because I sometimes get duplicate mails from Domino hosts :-)

Little bit hard to solve without more information. I would suggest that
you trace the path and actions of a known duplicate message through the
system and see *who* it was that delivered it twice. It may be your box,
but it could also be these domains...

Checkout the manpage for 'exigrep' and use it on /var/log/exim4/mainlog.
The messageid (something like 1DJSYZ-0000rU-Sx) is a pretty good search
string.

Cheers,
Mark.
