These are old messages frozen in your mail queue.  You can see their
metadata with the 'mailq' command.  Then you can use exim to either
throw them away or try to re-deliver them, (but first you'll have to fix
the problem that prevented their delivery in the first place or change
their destination addresses to something that will work).

exim doesn't like to see anything come back from the output of a pipe
delivery.  Your procmail delivery is creating some kind of output, and
exim sees this as an erroneous delivery.

The bounce was sent successfully, so debian-user will probably
unsubscribe you, since it can't deliver messages to you.

You should deal with those frozen messages.  Start with mailq, then read
the exim manpage to see how to use -M , -Mrm , -Mar , -Mg , -Mmd , etc.
to process those frozen messages.

good times,
