Config errors are one reason, but *not* the main one for the
installations that I manage. On my boxes, I routinely have over
1000 frozen bounces on my queue - typically bounced spam with
faked senders.
This is an exim3 box, which I'm hoping to upgrade to exim4:
exim4 will allow me to do more checks on inbound e-mail *before*
accepting it (and *then* bouncing it).
For the record, the box handles ~20,000 e-mails a day, and has
ignore_errmsg_errors_after = 2d

E-mail is easily faked. This may not be from me. Use GPG/PGP.
