Perhaps "save" is not a significant delivery by default? I don't
remember all the details anymore, but exim has both "significant" and
"not significant" delivery commands. The significant ones cause
processing to terminate. The others don't, allowing for duplicates to
be created (sometimes this is desirable). The 'seen' and 'unseen'
keywords can prefix a command to change it's semantics. When I used
an exim filter, I put "seen finish" after each delivery just for
explicitness in terminating the processing then. Read exim's filter
manual (filter.txt) for all the details.
