You mention the need for better graphing tools in your post, try eximstate:
http://www.olliecook.net/projects/eximstate/
We've been using it for about 2 years to monitor various exim servers
around the UK from one central web page.
We make it accessible to end users so they can check for themselves if
we have any mail problems or a backlogs of messages on the queue (Apache
does not need to be on the exim box itself. The tools generates PNG's
every 5 minutes for us and we have a PHP page that refreshes every few
minutes).
If you need any help with it, e-mail me direct.
Thanks

In fact, I'm glad that it's perl. For PHP apache would be the obvious
choice, but I don't really like apache on my MTA. With perl I can use
the lightweight thttpd or something :-) But ok, this is a personal thing
probably.
But the screenshots look good indeed, I will give this a try.
I think we still need better graphing tools with exim though, don't we?
The mailgraph-exim package is something like I had in mind, but I think
it is not really maintained. (I think I will write some things that suit
my need though, if I find some time :-))
