For the monitoring syslog bit you could try 'swatch'
(
http://swatch.sf.net). It monitors log files and will 'do things' when
required. We use it to monitor several log files - not exim though! - and
run a program when things start failing. (If you are using Fedora linux
you'll find 'swatch' in the Fedora Extras.)
