Try building exim with the libraries that you have on mandrake, or
findng a mandrake package.
Don't try to mix-n-match binaries meant for other systems.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's a dbm library problem with what you
have. I saw these error messages on one system (the zombie one) after
I moved it to exim4. I fixed those errors on my primary MX were
caused by dbm library incompatibilities.

The binary was made using libraries on a rh box. When the
dependencies on the package say they need a certain name and version,
it means the package with that name and version it was compiled
against. That's the problem with so many rpm-based distros -- the
packages don't work on other distros.
Oh, yeah, that "Failed ... Sucess" message I got is a bug in libdb3.
It was discussed on another list (where dbm is also used) and someone
tracked it down to libdb3.
