The serialmail package by Daniel Bernstein will scan a Maildir

it under an exim system without much trouble. One thing to note
though - it was written with qmail in mind, and will want to use
an existing qmail installation to send bounces, in case the receiving
host refuses to accept a message. I'm sure it can be worked around
though. serialmail wants to inject the bounce message using the
"qmail-queue" program, and if you can write a wrapper for your
system called qmail-queue that actually hands off the message to
exim, you'd be fine. Oh, and it expects the evelope sender and
recipients to be in headers called Return-Path: and Delivered-To:
You will have to modify a couple of lines in the code to make
serialmail look at Exim's Return-path: (case of 'p') and
Envelope-to: headers.
