What you're looking for should be easily possible with qmailanalog. The
trick is finding out what the qp number ("long-term queue identifier")
of the message is first (this information is in the logs).
For example, you'll find log entries like this:
@40000000449f3e6f1e2a2cf4 info msg 64027: bytes 1490 from
sender@address> qp 1715 uid 64020
The qp in this case is 1715. Now, once you've got this, you can send
your logs through matchup:
cat /var/log/qmail/@4* /var/log/qmail/current | \
matchup 5>/dev/null | xqp 1715 | zoverall
Presto: you're done!
One small word of warning; qmail does, every now and then, reuse a qp
number. The qp is a long-term queue identifier, but they aren't
infallible

Thank you, I clearly didn't fully comprehend how to use the
xqp/xsender/x___ commands. In my case, since the specific messages
we're looking for are most often ezmlm messages, I believe using xsender
will get us guaranteed unique results, since the ezmlm embeds the
listname and message number in the envelope sender.

One small word of warning; qmail does, every now and then, reuse a qp
number. The qp is a long-term queue identifier, but they aren't
infallible (they're based on PIDs, which, on super-busy servers, can
wrap around in less than an hour), so you may have to judiciously
limit how far back in time the logs you feed it go. My system is
pretty low-load, so when I tested the above command, I found one
message with the same qp from several months ago, but you may find it
necessary to be more judicious.

I'm not married to using qmailanalog at all, but it is rather thorough.
What I need is to know, for a given message, delivery attempts,
deferral info, bounce info, etc.
Does anyone have any good tools to provide this kind of data? One of my
clients runs a paid-subscription newsletter, and needs to be able to
track the results on that level to ensure QoS for paying customers.

you could give my 'newanalyse' a trial:
