I use eximstats with the -pattern option to count spam rejected messages,
virus rejected messages, bad file extension rejected messages, bad MIME
rejected messages, sender verification defers, and sender verification
failures. The first four are exiscan related, the last two are not actual
rejects, I just use them with a custom SA rule worth 3 points.

The downside to using the -pattern options is that it only provides a count,
nothing more. I'd love an option in eximstats that outputs sender
verification failures with the failed address and the SMTP server's
response. Also, custom patterns will not transfer over when combining
eximstats reports (which I for weekly and monthly reports).
