Its probably not as large as you think - db files tend to be sparse.

The most effective method to make it physically smaller is to delete
it - they are hints files, so losing them occasionally will make very
little difference.

Regular maintenance (removal of old data - which may not physically
reduce the file size) can be done with exim_tidydb - see
