I tried. I stopped exim, removed the files "wait-remote_smtp.*" and
started exim again. But now I have the following problems:

tulip{exim}18#/opt/EXIM/bin/exim_tidydb -t 14d /var/spool/exim
wait-remote_smtp
Exim wait-remote_smtp database in spool /var/spool/exim
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

tulip{exim}19#/opt/EXIM/bin/exim_dumpdb /var/spool/exim wait-remote_smtp
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

The database looks a little bit strange:

-rw-r-----   2 exim     exim       24576 Apr 30 08:38
wait-remote_smtp.dir
                                   ^^^^^
-rw-r-----   1 exim     exim           0 Apr 30 08:37
wait-remote_smtp.lockfile
-rw-r-----   2 exim     exim       24576 Apr 30 08:38
wait-remote_smtp.pag


How can we solve the problem?

Thanks,

Jan
