No, at the moment you have to pipe the logfile in to it, so if
your exim logs to /var/log/exim/mainlog, then run

tail -f /var/log/exim/mainlog | exitop

If you want to start with a lot of data (i.e. so you don't have to
wait for ages to see something, which might be the case on a
low-traffic server), try

tail -n1000 -f /var/log/exim/mainlog | exitop

That will feed 1000 lines of the log file in, and then continue
watching it "as it happens".

HTH,

Matthew
