Looks like an ancient version of eximstats. Try "eximstats --help". This
is what I get for a bad option:
$ eximstats -rhubarb
Eximstats: Unknown or malformed option -rhubarb
eximstats Version 1.36
Usage: eximstats [Options] mainlog1 mainlog2 ... > report.txt
eximstats -html [Options] mainlog1 mainlog2 ... > report.html
eximstats -merge [Options] report.1.txt report.2.txt ... > weekly_rep.txt
eximstats -merge -html [Options] report.1.html ... > weekly_rep.html
Parses exim mainlog or syslog files and generates a statistical analysis
of the messages processed. Valid options are:
-h<number> histogram divisions per hour. The default is 1, and
0 suppresses histograms. Other valid values are:
2, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 or 60.
-ne don't display error information
-nr don't display relaying information
-nr/pattern/ don't display relaying information that matches
-nt don't display transport information
-nt/pattern/ don't display transport information that matches
-nvr don't do volume rounding. Display in bytes, not KB/MB/GB.
-q<list> list of times for queuing information
single 0 item suppresses
-t<number> display top <number> sources/destinations
default is 50, 0 suppresses top listing
-tnl omit local sources/destinations in top listing
-t_remote_users show top user sources/destinations from non-local domains
-byhost show results by sending host (default unless bydomain or
byemail is specified)
-bydomain show results by sending domain.
-byemail show results by sender's email address
-byedomain show results by sender's email domain
-pattern "Description" /pattern/
Count lines matching specified patterns and show them in
the results. It can be specified multiple times. Eg:
-pattern 'Refused connections' '/refused connection/'
-merge merge previously generated reports into a new report
-html output the results in HTML
-charts Create charts (this requires the GD::Graph modules)
-chartdir <dir> Create the charts' png files in the directory <dir>
-chartrel <dir> Specify the relative directory for the "img src=" tags
from where to include the charts in the html file
-chartdir and -chartrel default to '.'
-d Debug mode - dump the eval'ed parser onto STDERR.
