I have a possible thing to check for, by the way -- I found that if a process does not success with it's db_connect() call, it will die and be respawned in a *tight* loop until it does finally return true from db_connect(). So perhaps some people could trace their dbmail issue to a lack of open connections and proper tuning of the database, causing this loop in dbmail?
