Please reply to the list, not just to me personally.

Most probably this IS an bounce message that should be sent out to the
original sender.

If a bounce message can't be sent it will be frozen by exim and it will
stuck in the queue (unless you set move_frozen_messages) you can play
around with exims options for this cases, watch for

auto_thaw
ignore_bounce_errors_after
timeout_frozen_after

in spec.txt they will help you to clean the queue when the messages are
frozen for a certain amount of time.
