Well, it looks like the message comes in twice in your exim config, with two
different message-Ids.

Without seeing your exim.conf, it's hard to say (and quite frankly, I'm hazy
on them anyway now that mine has been working and left untouched for years),
but my guess is that your amavis config is what splits the mail and refeeds
it to you, not sa-exim:

amavis seems to accept the mail and then send it to exim local. sa-exim in
its default config will run in both cases.
If your config is meant to run exim twice per Email, you could configure
sa-exim to recognize the second call and not re-scan stuff that's already
been scanned when it came from the outside the first time.

If you can't figure it out, you could disable sa-exim for now, see that
your mails still get processed twice, and ask for further help on the
exim-users list to sort it out.
Once you have what you need, you can turn sa-exim back on (just so that you
get to deal with one thing at a time)
