we are doing a similar thing, but instead of having a log parser we
directly insert the ip into a mysql database using exim builtin mysql
support, then every 5 minutes the mysql databse is dumped into a faster
cdb databse which is used by exim. Altough it would be better if exim
had built in support to insert keys/values into dbm databases as this
would make the whole process faster and would allow inmediate
availability of banned ip's
