What this means is that you should probably read the overview
documentation to understand how exim works!

From: http://www.exim.org/exim-html-3.30/doc/html/oview.html

"...A message remains in the spool directory until it is completely
delivered to its recipients or to an error address, or until it is deleted
by an administrator or by the user who originally created it. In cases
when delivery cannot proceed -- for example, when a message can neither be
delivered to its recipients nor returned to its sender, the message is
marked `frozen' on the spool, and no more deliveries are attempted. The
administrator can thaw such messages when the problem has been corrected,
and can also freeze individual messages by hand if necessary..."

Presumably you are running a queue run every hour, and exim is logging the
fact that this message is still frozen every hour.
