postfix != dbmail. You don't need to stop postfix to stop dbmail. Unless
you want to make absolutely sure no insertion into the database will
happen through dbmail-smtp.

basically what the init scripts (should) do is:

kill `cat /var/run/dbmail-imapd.pid`
...
etc.

And that should be enough, so no need for killall.

Those scripts should be of use on ubuntu and other debian derivatives as
well. Pick up the latest ones contained in 2.1.7. They will work for 2.0
as well and are LSB compliant. Installing lsb-base may be required.
