This might be a possible symptom of the issue previously reported with mail to gmail hanging (given the target of the mail below): https://lists.exim.org/lurker/message/20220810.000245.edf27d60.en.html (it's a kernel bug - there is a workround until you can get onto a 5.18 kernel).
You should be able to see if this is only for mail going to gmail MX hosts, and also see other logged messages (as per the thread above) if this is the case.

Below is an example of a message that is locked for 16 hours. What I have to do in order to setting a timeout and send a message or alert to the sender? Many thanks in advance.
