The log didn't show anything happening every second, but looking through
the sourcecode I think I found the problem.
In server.c, in the StartServer(serverConfig_t * conf) function, the 2.0
branch code uses "db_connect()" to CHECK if the current connection is
still good.
This problem appears to h
set loglevel to 5 in /etc/dbmail.conf under imapd section and see what
is triggering it..
perhaps you have a bot trying to test some random password/user combo
every second or so...if no one is connecting and dbmail is still
triggering the db connects, get detailed logs and submit a bug report
