At some point, @Jeremy Harris <j...@wizmail.org> advised me that I could use the below if I want to move from BDB: For TDB: USE_TDB = y DBMLIB = -ltdb For gdbm: USE_GDBM = yes DBMLIB = -lgdbm I have successfully used tdb on my Linux servers, but I have not done so on FreeBSD - because I never bothered to. I am running exim-4.96 on a few FreeBSD 13-RELEASE servers and also a few Linux (Ubuntu & Debian) for quite some time now.
