Our support staff send me mails to "unfreeze a domain". What they mean by
this is, to go into the retry database and delete a host out of there,
invariably, a customer who has been down for more than 5 days and, depite
being back up, finds all of their mail is still bouncing.

It can be a bit of a pain the way exim works in this respect but, for the vast
majority of cases it is a good way as when you process large volumes of mail,
a small queue is a bonus.
