It's dbmail-pop3d. Currently TOP is showing this:
PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND 21088 root 15 0 564 564 500 S 99.9 0.0 181:42 dbmail-pop3d The database currently has all proper indexes...and it does not seem to be a MySQL issue at all. And, the load average continues to grow the longer that dbmail-pop3d continues to run. It is currently at 11.57 This is the highest I personally have EVER seen one of my machines go. Also, when I check the maillog it does not seem to be doing anything out of the ordinary. It almost looks like one child process has just run off and refuses to stop...but the log is not showing tons of stuff going on. I'm totally freaked and confused now!
