As root type mailq and you will be able to see a list of the
messages which have been frozen.
You can delete them from /var/spool/exim/input/ (there are
two files for each message) and in /var/spool/exim/msglog/
you will find one system message for each mail which has
been frozen. These can be removed as well.
