You need to move/copy the messages back. Exim's queue directory is
defined at compile time. There *MAY* be a config option in the exim.conf
file for changing the queue dir, but I don't recall one. Best bet is to
move them back into the queue dir, then run exim -qff to force exim to
re-read the queue and start trying to deliver the messages.
