D means `Delivered'.
See `man exim4':
Each message on the queue is displayed as in the following
example:
25m 2.9K 0t5C6f-0000c8-00 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
<other addresses>
The first line contains the length of time the message has
been on the queue (in this case 25 minutes), the size of the
message (2.9K), the unique local identifier for the message,
and the message sender, as contained in the envelope. For
bounce messages, the sender address is empty, and appears as
"<>". If the message was submitted locally by an untrusted
user who overrode the default sender address, the user's
login name is shown in parentheses before the sender address.
If the message is frozen (attempts to deliver it are sus-
pended) then the text "*** frozen ***" is displayed at the
end of this line.
The recipients of the message (taken from the envelope, not
the headers) are displayed on subsequent lines. Those
addresses to which the message has already been delivered are
marked with the letter D. If an original address gets
expanded into several addresses via an alias or forward file,
the original is displayed with a D only when deliveries for
all of its child addresses are complete.
