I never understood why exim has such brain-dead defaults as requring an admin to manually deal with "frozen" messages. Every other MTA I have ever used has not even had such a concept.
I do agree that the default handling of frozen messages is not good. I guess the premise is let's not throw anything away unless we're told to.
I dunno how exim4 handles this - still on woody and not yet played with it - but maybe a debconf question at setup could change this default behaviour. Or just change the default config in the deb anyway.
