Hello, How much memory/swap space do you have? (cat /proc/meminfo) If you don't need as many connection handlers (ie. you have a low volume mail sight), you could turn down NCHILDREN in dbmail.conf, which will get you less dbmail-pop3d processes. Likewise you could turn down the number of simultaneous deliveries to dbmail in master.cf. I don't see anything terribly abnormal from just the process list though. It could be something as simple as not having any swap space on disk.
