"not sure"
taking as an example 1 message which I got 4 times recently:
wdiff between two headers:

so -- we see that the guys' provider (rr) got email once! but then had to
deliver it twice (actually 4 times) before it succedded and stopped
resubmitting. so it seems that poor exim somehow is said to 'reject' an email
which it does but somewhere at SMTP connection time message is actually
'delivered'. I wonder if they don't use any spam filtering or gray listing at
SMTP time...
