Because I did not found a tool to create graphs (the way I want it)
from exim logs, I wrote a little bash script that suits my needs.
 
Example graph:
 
mailfilter graph
 
Download: exim_rrd-0.9.5.1 (updated 2009-03-07 [bugfix])
 
I’m not a programmer, so the script can be improved – no question : )
If you have any hints, please tell me.
 
 
Usage: run as cronjob, i.e.
# mail statistic
*/5 * * * * /usr/local/bin/exim_rrd > /dev/null 2> /dev/null
