Subject: [EXIM] Weird error message that sends exim into a loop

Hi guys.

I got this message last night and exim got into a loop, in the mainlog and
paniclog files, considering a delivery:

1997-11-11    00:00:00    0xUy5o-0003HB-00    SEGV    while    reading    "Ä=dÀ    ×"    from dbm
file: record assumed not to exist


i also received this message from Cron on behalf of exim:

1997-11-10 22:23:31 queue run: process 14692 crashed with signal 11 while
delivering 0xUy5o-0003HB-00


the only event i could link this to within a reasonable timeframe is
another message that came from majordomo a few minutes before the crash:


This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

A message that you sent could not be delivered to all of its recipients. The
following address(es) failed:

  xxxxx@???:
    SMTP error from remote mailer after RCPT TO:
    <xxxxx@???>:
    host mail.consulan.com [199.202.196.7]:
    550 <xxxxx@???>... User unknown


any idea why this could happen?

regards,
jeff.
