If you read the messages exim writes to it's logfiles, you'd find out
yourself. The load on your machine is high (20.xx), and exim takes care
of not stressing the machine when the load is high already, so it just
queues messages, instead of delivering them immediately.

You'll see that when the load on your box drops to normal values again,
the messages will get delivered.

You could change the settings that trigger exim into queueing or not
accepting mail at certain loadaverages, but it would be smart to figure
out why the load is so high, and try to fix that.
