To get an empty database you need to either
(a) Use the -t option to remove records older than a certain time, e.g. -t 1s
will remove pretty well all of them.
(b) Just rm it!

That is not a retry record for a specific message. It is a retry record
for a specific host.
I will try to make the documentation clearer at the next revision.
