It seems me you have no chances to catch ALL the bounce cases in routers
and transports: there may be situations such as insufficient memory for
Exim, disk overflow and others... I belive the only reliable solution is
to parse logs and extract relevant entries.

Parsing may be done on the fly, via exim -> syslog -> program(pipe),
of logging to program via named pipe (man fifo), or some other way.
