It's also possible dbmail is looping over getpwent calls. As what user is dbmail-imapd running? Does that user really exist? Is dbmail-imapd suid?

Try attaching a strace to the running dbmail-imapd processes and sent us the 
trace.

Did you by chance disable lookupd's caching?

I've got dbmail running on Mac OS X 10.3.3 on a Quicksilver G4 PowerMac. For some reason, the lookupd process was utilizing 180% CPU according to top. I killed some processes off to see what might be influencing that, and as soon as I killed the dbmail-imapd processes, lookupd's load went down to nothing. lookupd is the directory service daemon for Mac OS X. I can't figure out why dbmail would be causing lookupd to suck up the CPU... Any ideas?
