Exim by default freezes (ie stops attempting delivery but leaves on
queue) undeliverable bounce messages.
The message there is a bounce message (ie from <>), so its likely that
the address [EMAIL PROTECTED] is undeliverable in some
way (or was at the time of the freeze).
Most likely reason for this is someone sending a message to an unknown
user of yours from an undeliverable sender address - bounce message
cannot then be delivered. In this case the address looks as though its
one of your Mailman admin addresses so probably failed for a different
reason.
Suggest you check through your exim logs for 16MNzN-0004Ri-00 - you
should also be able to discover the message log entries fro the message
that generated the bounce.
Try using
exim -d5 -bt [EMAIL PROTECTED]
to find out if that address can be resolved, and to hopefully give hints
as to whats wrong. [First guess, look at permissions on your alias
files]
