I was not asking for logging. SQL-logging might be nice as well, but it 
is more important, that all queue relevent need to be stored in a sql 
database. This would improve performance a lot. Right now exim has to 
parse thousands of files for find out which is the next one for a 
delivery attempt. A sql database which a fixed column set would be much 
simpler and the real message wouldn't have to be stored as blob, it 
could still be stored as a textfile.

Wouldn't this be a goal for exim in general to improve the meta-data in 
queue data in a structured storage like SQLite?

Marten
