At present it is limited to the logfiles it was compiled to be aware of, eg: panic, main, reject. It should not be rocket science to alter source to add one or more new ones - or a variable or several - and recompile. Meanwhile - one can do SQL INSERT, UPDATE, et al from any acl AND/OR router / transport, which I have used for years. One can also trigger an external executable to do <whatever> CAVEAT 1: Running an SQL engine for no other purpose but Exim enhanced logging is not, IMNSHO, a 'good idea'. OTOH, if you already run such a beast for other purposes . (m)any Exim cleverities can be a relatively lightweight add-on to it... CAVEAT 2: Exim's primary 'mission' is to handle smtp sessions. The more side-jobs one asks of it, the greater the likelihood of getting one's undergarments tangled in the machinery. As in rejecting messages because the 'other' engine/executable is not doing what was expected of it... Ergo mining the *existing* log system externally and after-the-fact for pattern matches is often a safer way to go, as it need not impact Exim's 'day job'. Nor necessarily even need to compete for use of the same machine resources.
