Impossible to say; ask the administrator of the server that's giving
that response.

I agree, not a good idea.
Use Exim's settings to adjust the automatic warnings about delayed
messages (delay_warning, warn_message_file) - but that will apply to delays
for /any/ reason, not specifically "451 4.2.1 Mailbox busy, try again later".
If you want to do something different for that particular message, you'll
probably have to create some sort of script to Exim read Exim's log files,
looking for the lines containing that message, and generating notifications of
your choosing. But apart from the matter of how to parse each of Exim's log
lines, this lies outside the scope of Exim, I would think.
