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.

Or is this a db error?

It looks like the retry DB is corrupt.

Maybe try investigating the /var/spool/exim/db/retry file with the BDB
tools?

At worst, it's only a hint and can be blown away
without risking mail lossage.
