I'd really think about using syslog for logging purpose on a mailserver.
As a mail service should be focused on security in any sense, I would
not rely on syslog for logging.
When logging via syslog Exim can't check if there is enough log space or
if the messages are written at all. I'd like to see my mailserver
refusig mails (4xx) if there is a logging problem, since I *have* to
have records about any action the mail server did.
Sorry, it's not the answer to your question, but I CNR.
To have at least on part of your mail answered: Exim does not have an
built in option for logging via a database. But with some fake lookup
you could pass information to some database, or you can write some
custom perl functions for logging to some database.
Best regards from Dresden/Germany
