Hi Marc,

What you describe is intended behaviour. The dbmail daemons (imapd/pop3d) pre-spawns the maximum number of children (as defined in dbmail.conf); this is for performance reasons (fast response when connecting to a dbmail server). Paul Stevens wrote a patch adding more features to dbmail's process management, it is to be included in version 2.1.
