They might be frozen. If Exim can't send a message on and can't return
a bounce (eg. the original sender address isn't working), it freezes the
message. Generally speaking, frozen messages sit in the queue until you
do something with them.
Use "exim -bp" to see what's in the queue -- the frozen messages tend to
jump out at you. If not, try one of these:
exim -bp | awk '$6 == "frozen"'
exim -bp | awk '$6 == "frozen" {print $3}'
Use "exim -Mvl <msgid>" to view the log for each frozen message. That
usually clarifies things. Read the manual, especially all options that
start with "-M", to see what you can do to messages in the queue.
