and how do you know these are fake? There is just no way to tell that these emails are 'fake' by just looking at the information provided.

My guess is that Titus doesn't recognize these messages because the user didn't send them. Rather than just looking at your mailq, a better way to examine your email activity is through /var/log/exim_mainlog. This will give you a better idea if your server is being used to relay junk. If this is a WHM server, you've already got plenty of tools at your disposal to stop it. Good luck!
