... or you could just wipe the hints database.

After reading the output of "man exim_tidydb" checked this.
$ ls -d /var/spool/exim4/db/*
/var/spool/exim4/db/retry
/var/spool/exim4/db/retry.lockfile
/var/spool/exim4/db/wait-remote_smtp_smarthost
/var/spool/exim4/db/wait-remote_smtp_smarthost.lockfile

Therefore I should try this.
$ exim_tidydb -t 1m /var/spool/exim4 retry

Two incidental questions.
(1) The man page shows option -f without explanation.  How is it used?

(2) Why split the database identifier into path and file?  Why not
just the fully qualified name?  Eg.
 exim_tidydb -t 1m /var/spool/exim4/db/retry

Might continue tomorrow or later.

Thanks for the help,       ... P.
