Some message's delivery process ended unsuccessfully.
After that Exim created another bounce message 1akeMA-0006Jk-73
about that (with empty sender: "MAIL FROM:<>") and tried to deliver it.
The bounce message couldn't be delivered, so the bounce message was frozen.
The bounce message will be deleted according to "ignore_bounce_errors_after".
But why did your server try to deliver a message with "enamehandle.top"
in envelope-from? Perhaps your user's password was stolen and used
for spamming, the spammer specified "enamehandle.top" in envelope-from.
