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.).
well, but...

If you put dbmail-* to maintenance mode due to database maintenance, how dbmail can check username/password?

Regrads,
