Hello Harald & list users,
thanks a lot for your reply. Good to see that the list is still active

After a bit of more digging in the notes during compile of dbmail I 
found the error.

warning: libssl.so.37, needed by /usr/lib64/libzdb.so, not found (try 
using -rpath or -rpath-link)
warning: libcrypto.so.36, needed by /usr/lib64/libzdb.so, not found (try 
using -rpath or -rpath-link)

so the culprit here was libzdb with the old openssl libs from openSUSE 42.1

after removing all the old garbage of dbmail & requirements and doing a 
fresh compile of dbmail and zdb all is working fine again

thanks a lot for your help and I might want to look into creating rpm's 
in the future, like you suggested.

Greetings & best wishes
Becki
