The logging logs confusing

    <date> <time> <some-id> Spool file <otherspool-id> not found


The timestamp of the first id 1aogqr-… is Sat Apr  9 00:34:13 UTC 2016
The timestamp of the 2nd id in the (first) line is 
                                         Sun Apr  3 03:25:14 UTC 2016


I'm not sure, if I ever saw such lines. (The timestamp of the id is the
part before the first '-', it's encoded base62,
I used 'exim -be ${base62d:…}' do decode it.

But, I think there is one instance running for 1aogqr-0001Nl-MN,
handling messages for the specific destination. And now it's checking
the retry database for other messages waiting for this destination.

And there are messages mentioned which are not there anymore. This
should not happen, it looks indeed like a corrupted retry database (or
is it *_wait, having the message ids for a specific destination?)

Try, if an exim_tidydb … helps.
