Applies, but limited by Exim not dealing with the hints DB while privileged. > Maybe that should change? Exim can be compiled to use gdbm (and some others) rather than Berkeley DB; it's a packager's choice. "exim -bV" output will say what you have (just before the "support for" line). Bug 268 is relevant (requesting non-dbm DB types for hints). For BDB, better would be to set a specific "db environment" up and run with it, so that it doesn't look for that file. Bug 2141 openeed. -- Cheers, Jeremy -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
