Yeah, there is that :)

I've been looking at the 'only one recipient per mail' options
mentioned here:

  http://www.timj.co.uk/linux/Exim-SpamAndVirusScanning.php

Since this is for a rather low-volume mailserver, for domains which 
don't attract (except for spam) a lot of identical items sent to 
multiple recips, it's not too bad.
