I want to take the DB server offline, so before that I switch 
on "management mode" on the mailserver. Example:
/etc/init.d/dbmail stop
/etc/init.d/dbmail-maint start
(or better: dbmail-util --maintenance=on)

This starts daemons listening on 110,143 etc. which simulate a POP/IMAP 
connection, just returning OK on all activities (USER, PASS, LIST, 
etc.). It should do as if there are just no new messages. Like this, it 
should be possible to "survive" some offline minutes without users 
recognizing it. Our current problem is that even some seconds offline 
triggers user calls.
