It may well be a sparse file - so nowhere near 600MB on disk.  Use "ls
-s" to show the disk blocks in use.

If your distribution uses a single file db file (ie theres one file per
db in the directory - maybe plus a .lockfile one) then you can just
delete them every so often.  This definitely reclaims the disk space
whereas using some form of db tidy such as exim_tidydb may not actually
return disk space.

Remember they are hints - thats why you can put them on a RAMDISK in the
first place.
