The command eximstats will parse your log file (pass it as a command
line argument), and can give you a good hourly breakdown of your
messages, as well as numerous other statistics. It can, at the very
least, give you some good information on which sections of your log file
to look through.
To find locally submitted mails (what I take your question to mean),
take a look at the "P=" field in the logfile... It'll tell you the
protocol which was used to submit the e-mail. P=local and P=local-esmtp
should give you something to look for.
Furthermore, it sounds like this could be some other type of problem
with your machine, you haven't reall provided enough information to tell
if exim is at fault at all...
I hope this helps.
