My list of Exim log parameters, and it may attract some criticism from
some, is

In my Exim logs I have things like these (without the number in round
brackets)

(1) 2016-05-19 22:02:58 +0100 SMTP connection from

My understanding of Exim is.

in (3) <= means incoming

in (6) => means outgoing, to another mail server (MTA, also Exim)

To simplify and assist the infrequent exploration of Exim log files,
current and archived, I wrote a simple PHP programme (with a search and
display facility) which runs on Apache. I can, virtually instantly, find
anything extremely fast with only cut-and-past effort.

Grep-ing is not the ideal choice for any production environment but a
useful substitute for lack of proper support systems.
