Thank you all for responses. I tried just deleting the retry data base
and it ran Ok for about 1 hour before ....
2015-01-13 19:00:06 Start queue run: pid=3795
2015-01-13 19:00:06 1YB4fs-0006qO-C3 Berkeley DB error: page 3: illegal
page type or format
2015-01-13 19:00:06 1YB4fs-0006qO-C3 Berkeley DB error: PANIC: Invalid
argument
2015-01-13 19:00:06 1YB4fs-0006qO-C3 Berkeley DB error: /var/spool/exim/db/retry
: pgin failed for page 3
so what could have corruoted the file? No other indications in the logs.
We had run file checks etc before
I am not very familiar with d=th BDB tiools. I found db_verify but no
documentation yet.
Maybe we just live wit it.
