I had problems with database corruption when I first installed exim on my
little linux box, and it turns out that what happened was, berkeley db comes
with some header files that you are supposed to install, including ndbm.h,
I put all these headers into /usr/local/include, and libdb.a into
/usr/local/lib. What caused the problem was that exim was using an older
copy of ndbm.h that came with the linux distribution and resided in
/usr/include, so it was being found first. I renamed the old ndbm.h to
ndbm.h.old, rebuilt exim, and now everything works perfectly...
