Just for the record I ended up using the sa-exim-stats package.
This  was referenced in the docs of the sa-exim package.  I had
to give up using greylisting since my mail was not coming through.
I use a mail forwarder and it confounded the greylist package.
After installing the sa-exim package and stopping the greylist packagage
mail seems to be working fairly well.  I did have to tweek the
sa-exim-stats script a bit since it is based on the exim3 log output.

thanks to all who responded.
