Put the following router at the start of your routers:

warn_of_delay:
driver = accept
condition = ${if > {$message_age}{3600}{yes}{no}}
transport = warn_of_delay
unseen

Also add this transport:

warn_of_delay:
driver = autoreply
to = your.address
text = Message $message_id is older than an hour


Those are off the top of my head. Untested. Some important options may
have been omitted. YMMV. Note that "unseen" is important.

Alternatively, write a script that runs "exim -bp" and analyses the
output.
