exim -bpc       will return the size of the queue
exim -bp        will list the details of that queue


both can be used to see the "state" of the queue.

checking out the rejectlog/paniclog to make sure that nothing is
being rejected (when it shouldn't).

eximstats daily to give you an idea of "normal traffic" so you can
spot abnormal behaviour (and work out longer term trends). Having
a feel for "an ordinary day" means you have much better chance of
catching "abnormal" behaviour.

And then external monitoring tools to check that a mail can be
delivered through your server (done on a regular interval).
