Subject: [exim] Noting SMTP completion in a database / Query on SMTP success
Hi Guys,

I've been working on a Exim+Mailman based system for sending out
subscription newsletters to our database of clients.

It's been working well for a while, with Mailman integrated directly
into our database to track different views as the mailing lists and
marking people as bad when there are too many bounces etc.

I was hoping to put the icing on the cake this morning - having Exim let
me know of each successful delivery so I can add a note to each account
to say which documents a customer has been sent. I can't seem to find a
way of doing it though, so was hoping someone could point me in the
correct direction.

In the Exim spec there doesn't seem to be anything in the SMTP Transport
which is called on success, nor is there a callback to the Router in
question (DNSLOOKUP). I didn't really expect there to be a suitable
hook here, as all the other SQL hooks are really lookups in disguise,
and there's nothing left to look up at this point :-)

Had a quick look at logging too, but this option might be a little
heavy, if I can make it work at all.

Thanks very much in advance if anyone's got any advice at all! :-)

Thanks,
-Oli
