The automated test for message_age uses 2 seconds, and the script just
waits 3 seconds at the relevant point, so that doesn't help you very
much!
You can use a test version of Exim with a test spool to avoid touching
the live queue, of course. You can put a message on the queue using -odq
so it doesn't get delivered. You can then wait for 3600 before starting
a queue runner, but that's a slow testing process...
The only alternative is to edit the -H file on the queue to fake the
arrival time.
