Mail that can neither be delivered nor returned is frozen
by exim.
You can search your logs and/or queue to determine
the offending addresses. Often, it's just blind spam.
Sometimes, however, mail that looks OK gets frozen.
This is sometimes the result of temporary network
problems (particularly if you are using a "smart host"
to handle your mail) but could indicate a misconfiguration.
That could take a more detailed analysis to solve.
You can use eximon or or the various -Mxxx exim
options to deal with problem messages. If you have
a global problem, once you fix it, you can run exim
-qff to thaw all frozen messages and retry delivery.
Hope this helps,
