Yes please.
I haven't looked at the events system for EXIM but it does sound usefull, and
exactly what I need.
I use our mail server for distributed processs management in a number of
internal and external ways. This includes using Postgresql with EXIM for data
management, and PIPE delivery processes for more complex matters.
For process completion and tidy-up, as well as error analysis so far, I've had
to resort to end-of-day batch processing to look for the 'Completed' log
entries and then perform post-process events. If I could hook into this in
real time it would make a number of my processes cleaner.
I am also implementing my own SPAM filtering system based email patterns and a
number of old email addresses which anre known SPAM honeypots. Being able to
hook into the 'Conpleted' event would give me more flexibility in my analysis
