Another update.
In /var/spool/exim/msglog I have 1 file. Contents of that file:
2004-09-17 11:58:15 directing failed for root@webserv1: unknown
local-part "root" in domain "webserv1"
*** Frozen (delivery error message)

Its from 2004 so maybe that is making the queue stuck, I know nothing
of this stuff so I'm not sure. Deleting it just incase, exim -Mrm ID,
so you know I'm doing it correctly.

I still think it's my conf file. Can someone chop away at it and give
me a basic one?
That would be the biggest help I think.
