hello,

i found these in http://devel.reinikainen.net/docs/how-to/Exim/

--------------------
Sometimes you might get errors like these:

failed to open DB file /var/spool/exim/db/retry: File exists
failed to open DB file /var/spool/exim/db/wait-remote_smtp: File exists
Berkeley DB error: /var/spool/exim/db/retry: hash version 5 requires a version upgrade

in your main Exim log. This is apparently some sort of incompatibility between the Debian packaged Exim, and the compiled Exim. Simply delete these files and Exim will re-create them as needed.

i've deleted all files in /var/spool/exim/db and now it's ok :)
