Hi if that's the spammer case, then will it cause some emails that cannot be received or sent ?
Because the problem that some emails can't be sent or received and even not displayed in the log file, at least
i can't find it in there.
And btw, what is the meaning of message frozen ?

This means that Exim is doing it's job. Spammers are trying to relay spam
to others through you and Exim is denying them, just like it's supposed
to.
