What do you want to get out of exim via SNMP? Queue size etc.?

If so, that's quite easy to do with some exim -bpr|grep ... etc which
you can use when snmp polling on the host. At least that's what we do
here. We have a shell script runs every five minutes to calculate the number
of messages in the queue and write it to a file. SNMPd when queried just
cat's the value in the file and returns that to the monitoring software.

It doesn't really! :)
