To that end, perhaps an option to exim might be considered that would
do a special queue run, automatically thawing all messages first (and
possibly ignoring retry hints). This way, if there is a large mess to
fix, you can fix it, then invoke a cleanup queue run without having to
feed it all the message IDs.
Like 'exim -M' but without having to specify Ids. Either that, or an
'thaw all messages' command.
