This was discussed at length on the -devel list recently. The process
running as root is not processing requests for clients. It's only
purpose is (re)binding the port and forking off child processes that do
the actual processing. This is how things are done. For example, apache
uses this same approach.
There are solutions that can remedy this, but none of those are portable
AFAIK. Esp. kernel level capabilities come to mind.

Hi all,
I have configured my 1.2.7b with dbmail:dbmail.
What I noticed is that the first process stays with root:
root 1763 0.0 0.0 2008 556 ? S 03:37 0:00
/usr/local/sbin/dbmail-pop3d
dbmail 1764 0.2 0.0 2056 652 ? S 03:37 0:00
/usr/local/sbin/dbmail-pop3d
dbmail 1765 0.0 0.0 2056 748 ? S 03:37 0:00
/usr/local/sbin/dbmail-pop3d
dbmail 1766 0.0 0.0 2056 748 ? S 03:37 0:00
/usr/local/sbin/dbmail-pop3d
dbmail 1768 0.0 0.0 2056 748 ? S 03:37 0:00
/usr/local/sbin/dbmail-pop3d
Any ideas?
Best regards,
Bobby
