If we need to reset all these db file, is it a safe method?

1. kill exim listening daemon
2. cp /dev/null to these db file ( XXX.dir and XXX.pag )
3. restart exim daemon

Or is there another method better?

   ( According document, the entry in db file has 24 hour lifetime,
    sometime we need to reset all entries by hand. )
