put this in your exim configure file.
log_selector = +subject +smtp_confirmation

Then you'll get a confirmation string in the log file, something like
2005-07-15 06:22:35 1DtJaA-000Ixk-B7 => xxx@??? R=dnslookup T=remote_smtp H=mx1.mail.ukl.yahoo.com [195.50.106.7] C="250 ok dirdel"

Not so useful with yahoo, but very useful when sending to a
postfix/exim/sendmail/qmail server which puts the message ID in the
confirmation string.
