Yes, also I have try several other combinations of host/dbname/etc...
always the same error. I think this is not the problem, and like you
say in your post, the reference guide is wrong. The correct is the
format you say.

Yes, I put also all the oracle env before starting the Exim. Is the same result.
What I think is that the oracle support is not correctely compiled in
the exim binary. I use a strange path to compile it (because the make
fail with some not found files, and this files was in this
directorys). To compile I put this paths and options in
Local/Makefile:
LOOKUP_ORACLE=yes
LOOKUP_INCLUDE=-I /usr/include -I /opt/oracle/product/9i/rdbms/demo \
-I /opt/oracle/product/9i/xdk/include
LOOKUP_LIBS=-L/opt/oracle/product/9i/lib -L/usr/lib -lclntsh
I think that the "/opt/oracle/product/9i/rdbms/demo" where are some .h
files needed to compile, is not the "correct" path. Anyway, with this
path the exim compile without error, but I'm not sure that it's
correct...
Someone with oracle support have the Local/Makefile used to compile?
