That's my setup you trying to use. Works perfectly, providing courier
and exim use the SAME database library, in your case the Berkeley db
version 1, it seems by the error. If so, you can try the undocumented
(secret?) lookup 'dbmnz' in stead of 'dbm'. This lookup strips the
terminating 0 exim adds to lookup parts and courier doesn't use.
I run this setup with native GDBM but it should work with native DB and
TDB, too. Maybe even with the NDBM emulation.
