doesn't scale. we're talking about hundreds of remote mail relays
shoved into closets all over the US...
however, hacking eximon into a program that watches logs and raises
snmp traps is a viable alternative which we will investigate and
probably implement, and contribute to the exim community for the
greater good...
probably won't happen until January or February, though...
