I made the same move about 9 months ago, and wrote Virtual Exim in the
process. http://silverwraith.com/vexim
It's a web interface to managing exim with all thedata you mention, in
the mysql database.

You'll probably need to change the names of the mysql table columns, and
probably add a few columns (I'll let you decide how you want to do that,
i'd be happy to help off-list). It should be what you're looking for.
