Depends entirely. What does stalled mean? Is the message frozen?

Every message has an Exim message-id, shown in the output from
`exim -bp`. (I normally use `exim -bpru` to list the queue, to only
seem remaining recipients and to not sort the output, just see
everything fast).

As long as you haven't chosen to disable the `message_logs` option, then
`exim -Mvl the-message-id` will show you the logs for that message. You
can see every action Exim has taken, including failed deliveries, etc.

If you have disabled the per-message logs, then as a fallback you can
use `exigrep` as a tool to search the logs for that message-id.
