I do this with qmail.. My approach was to write a custom loggin daemon
which tool all the qmail log information an did some trivial parsing of it
on the way out to the log file. Every 1 min it would write a file which
contained the statistics, total deliveries, failed, bounces, etc which was
picked up by mrtg and then graphed.

You could probably do something similar with exim, but you have to tail
the log files instead of siphon off the log stream.
