Situation did not change on 4.62. :-(
I have a message in the queue:
root@hamster:~>mailq | head -3
7d 1.8K 1FZbrw-000HzZ-Up <>
frenzy2008@???
root@hamster:~>exinext frenzy2008@???
Route: frenzy2008@??? error -44: SMTP error from remote mail
server after RCPT TO:<frenzy2008@???>: host gsmtp163.google.com

last tried: 05-May-2006 16:13:47
next try at: 05-May-2006 22:13:47
past final cutoff time
Then I sent another message to this recipient using command
"exim -d+retry -M 1FaiWp-000Msh-04" (got temporary error,
output is saved). After this message 1FZbrw-000HzZ-Up is still
in the queue and next try time was increased:
root@hamster:~>exinext frenzy2008@???
Route: frenzy2008@??? error -44: SMTP error from remote mail
server after RCPT TO:<frenzy2008@???>: host gsmtp183.google.com

next try at: 05-May-2006 22:49:04
past final cutoff time
The result is having many messages older then 4 days in the queue,
which can be removed only when next delivery trying to this recipient
will be with this messages, but not with any other. One try every 6 hours,
so, one removed old message to this recipient every 6 hours in the
best case. :-(
