This option would give me a notification where to find frozen messages.
But I don't want to check my mailbox regularly to find the information
where to search for frozen messages and then to log on at five or more
Mail-Servers to find out what went wrong.

The old mailsystem (which is replaced with exim right now) would send
the complete troublesom message to postmaster who then decides what to
do about it.

That's much more comfortable since in my experience I usually can't do
more than to remove the message and send a notification to someone
responsible.

Well, I settled for a cron-job now:
mailq | grep frozen | cut -d " " -f 5|xargs -i exim -Mg {}
shoud do the job (if called with an intervall shorter then 10 hours).
