I don't think it's SmartList adding that header - at least it hasn't in
the lists I run (including this one)

What MTA are you using? Have you tried asking on the smartlist mailing
list? "echo subscribe|smartlist-request at Lists.RWTH-Aachen.DE" to sub.

Hang on.  I just Google'd for "smartlist exim resent" and came up with
bunches of messages from people with the same problem, and several
responses including one that pointed to /usr/doc/smartlist/README.exim :)

Looks like the solution is to either add your own Resent-To: header, or
tell exim to add an empty Bcc: header rather than a Resent-To: header
(see always_bcc in /usr/doc/exim/spec.txt.gz)
