You could try to tail the exim/mainlog and analyze it for corresponding
records. I didnt find simple way to achive this.
I'd do this in perl:
* prepare a hash with msg id as a key and so called fail-counter as value
* collect all receive records ("<=" with P=esmtp) to hash with msg id as a key
and content of "H=" as value.
* check every fail ("**") or defer ("==") record for msg id and increase
corresponding fail-counter; if the counter runs out of limit - do some action
for host
* if the date has changed, reset all counters
Please write to this list if you find a proper solution for your task.
