A Berkeley DB is probably corrupt. Do the logs give any information about which one it might be ? Do
you use Berkely DBs for any lookups ? If not, it's probably one of the retry time DBs (they can be
found in /var/spool/exim/db if I remember the defaults correctly). You could just delete them, Exim
should recreate them and all you'll lose is the existing retry data.
