Thanks for the reply,

Shortly after my last email I actually used exim_dumpdb to check if
there were any entries in any of the databases that related to the
domains in question. The only entries were in the callout db andnone
seemed relevant to the error.

The only oddity I came across was that there was no misc.lockfile
present to dump that db though I could create one (removed after) and
the dump returned nothing.

I am running Exim version 4.69 so I wouldn't think there would be any
old bugs knocking around, the OS is Centos 5 so it is the latest out of
the packages.

Regards,
Colin.
