Yes. I am currently writting something of that kind. It's not a
modification of eximstat as it does not scale well. It's a full blown C
hack that does log analysing. So far, it compils and core dumps lots.
I'll let you know when it reaches alpha nad will put it on the exim
site. It *should* run on any *nix, as it doesn't do clever stuff with
OS.
If you realy want, I can send you what I have at the moment... but be
awns it eats memory like nothing else at the moment, and one of the
free() I do core dumps it. More after this afternoon... ;>
