I believe, that's a bug. In exim.conf i have following directives:
timeout_frozen_after = 7d
ignore_errmsg_errors_after = 3d

-bp):
50d  4.6K 1CmKa0-0005UJ-00 <> *** frozen ***

Yes, that does look like a bug to me. Actually frozen messages will only 
be deleted at the next queue run after they time out, but if you weren't 
getting regular queue runs I'm sure you'd be worried about more 
important things than frozen messages not being deleted, so I assume 
that that isn't the cause.

Try doing "exim -d9 -q" to do a queue run with debug turned on. You'll 
get pages of output, so you probably want to redirect it to a file. Look 
through this for the message ID, and see what it says about it. This 
should suggest what the problem is.
