Default Delete Frozen EXIM messages

It is fairly easy to delete email messages that get frozen in the EXIM queue.

Frozen emails enter the queue usually when you're trying to send a bounce message in response to spam that got delivered from a non-existing email address.

Exim often keeps retrying - depending on the mail server configuration and this can end up with a lot of storage and cpu cycles going to waste.

An easy way to delete them is through a cron job that does the following:

Code:
exiqgrep -z -i | xargs exim -Mrm
