That would work, I believe. However, I'd prefer to have an option to
exim since that would seamlessly meld into the system. Otherwise, I'd
have to cater to make my log entries similiar looking to exim's,
breaking if you change the log format and I'd have to know where the
exim log is stored. Sounds like a dirty hack to me since I depend too
much on the way exim is programmed and configured.
