I wouldn't mess around with trying to hook into Exim itself and instead
sinple design a process that parses the data from the log files themselves
directly.

You could then process them a slow periods in the day so that any load if
any is mitigated. You can easily keep track of where you have looked by
the timestamps in the logs.

You could then at your leasure do just about anything you could possibly
desire such as outputing reports, updating databases etc.. without any
distrubance to your regular mail processes.
