I'm loath to modify eximstats to be able to parse syslog timestamps, as
the timestamp parsing section is time critical and needs to be as
simple and fast as possible. Also, there are a variety of different
syslog time formats so it would be difficult to put in a simple
solution which would satisfy everyone.

Instead, you could use a pre-parser to process syslog and then pass the
results to eximstats. I've written one and attached it. To use, just do

syslog_to_mainlog.pl Syslog_file | eximstats

I've never tried parsing syslog output before, so let me know how how it
goes!
