Ah! So, NDBM is lowercase by not using '-nolc' with exim_dbmbuild, and is
case-insensitive because we have 'locally_caseless' set (as default).
So, by writing the equivalent of exim_dbmbuild for CDB files - lowercasing
everything...spotted!
You're lowercasing the keys, but not the data aren't you? I've been
lowercasing everything with my program to create CDB files.
As said...back to the drawing board, but at least I know where I went wrong
:-)
Thanks,
