[sort of related] A few months ago I was working on an SNMP monitoring
tools for exim. The design consisted of two parts, a perl script that
tailed the exim mainlog writing out the stats to a file, and a
perlscript that was called by net-snmp to present the results when the
snmp numbers were queried.
I don't know how useful it really is, but you can produce some nice
graphs with cricket, et al.
I haven't worked on this in a while, but if anybody's interested then
mail me.
The output is as below (real, but with modified domains)
