for a remote +delivery it is the name of the remote host, followed by its failing IP +address (unless \(lqno_retry_include_ip_address\(rq is set on the smtp +transport). +Then there follows an error code, an additional error code, and a +textual description of the error. + +The three times on the second line are the time of first failure, the time of +the last delivery attempt, and the computed time for the next attempt. +The line ends with an asterisk if the cutoff time for the last retry rule +has been exceeded. + +Each output line from +.B exim_dumpdb +for the +.I wait\-xxx +databases consists of a host name followed by a list of ids for messages +that are or were waiting to be delivered to that host. +If there are a very large number for any one host, continuation records, +with a sequence number added to the host name, may be seen. +The data in these records is often out of date, because a message may be +routed to several alternative hosts, and Exim makes no effort to keep +cross-references. + +The +.B exim_tidydb +utility program is used to tidy up the contents of the hints databases. +If run with no options, it removes all records from a database that are +more than 30 days old. +The cutoff date can be altered by means of the \-t option, which must be +followed by a time. +For example, to remove all records older than a week from the retry +database: + +.I exim_tidydb \-t 7d /var/spool/exim retry + +Both the +.I wait\-xxx +and +.I retry +databases contain items that involve message ids. +In the former these appear as data in records keyed by host - they were +messages that were waiting for that host - and in the latter they are the +keys for retry information for messages that have suffered certain types +of error. +When \(lqexim_tidydb\(rq is run, a check is made to ensure that message ids in +database records are those of messages that are still on the queue. +Message ids for messages that no longer exist are removed from \(lqwait\-\(rqxxx +records, and if this leaves any records empty, they are deleted. +For the \(lqretry\(rq database, records whose keys are non-existent message +ids are removed. +The +.B exim_tidydb +utility outputs comments on the standard output whenever it removes +information from the database. + +Removing records from a DBM file does not normally make the file smaller, but +all the common DBM libraries are able to re-use the space that is released. +It is therefore suggested that +.B exim_tidydb +be run periodically on all the hints databases, but at a quiet time of day, +because it requires a database to be locked (and therefore inaccessible to +Exim) while it does its work. + +The +.B exim_fixdb +program is a utility for interactively modifying databases. +Its main use is for testing Exim, but it might also be occasionally useful +for getting round problems in a live system. +It has no options, and its interface is somewhat crude. +On entry, it prompts for input with a right angle-bracket. +A key of a database record can then be entered, and the data for that +record is displayed. + +If \(oqd\(cq is typed at the next prompt, the entire record is deleted. +For all except the +.I retry +database, that is the only operation that can be carried out. +For the +.I retry +database, each field is output preceded by a number, and data for individual +fields can be changed by typing the field number followed by new data, for +example: + + > 4 951102:1000 + +resets the time of the next delivery attempt. +Time values are given as a sequence of digit pairs for year, month, day, +hour, and minute. +Colons can be used as optional separators. + +.SH BUGS +This manual page needs a major re-work.
