I'm not sure if I understood well. Your application delivers to exim and
exim then in turn delivers the mail to the final destination (or to some
point more close to the final destination). The final destination is
somewhere in the „outside world“.

You need a notification from exim, if for any reason a message delivery
to the outside world fails?

(I'm confused by the „arrived“ - this sounds as exim *gets* the mail
from outside, but this doesn't fit to the rest of the sketched
scenario.)

    Best regards from Dresden/Germany
