Mmmmhhh... I believe those stuck messages are for non local
delivery, and have not yet timed out due to your retry rules.
If such messages get a time-out or a connection lost from
the remote server, they will be tried again until eventually
they will time out on your MTA according to your retry rules.
You can try something along these lines, it works well for me
(I use this to time out only the configured local parts, but
you may omit this). You also need exim 3.10 or later, as
message_age was added to this release.
news_bounce:
driver = lookuphost
domains = *
local_parts = news : usenet : anonymous
condition = ${if and {{> {$message_age}{43200}}{eq {$sender_address}{}}} {yes}{no}}
transport = trash
