AFAIK: The msglog is not used by exim it all (except writing to the
msglog as long as the message is in transit, the same information can be
found in the mainlog).

The old spool files (2 per message (-H and -D)) can be removed too. (There
is no information stored somewhere else.)

Better than using find is using `expick' and exim itself. (IMHO part of the exim
package). Consult it's man page for information about exipick and pass
its output to `exim -Mrm'.
