According to the documentation on the exim web site, I think I should be
able to do
exim_tidydb -f /path/to/spool retry
and end up with an essentially empty retry database (quoting the docs "The
`-f' option can also be used for the retry database; it causes the removal
of any retry records for specific messages if those messages no longer exist.")
so why does the following happen
$ exim -bp
4d 1.0K 12QwIQ-00063i-00 <user@???>
D user@???

3d 2.7K 12RD5v-0007TE-00 <user@???>

$ exim_tidydb -f /path/to/spool retry
$ exim_dumpdb /path/to/spool retry
{lots of stuff snipped}
