I agree it's IMPOSSIBLE to catch it through the logs.. I've tried!!
My Imail Server pegs my Dual Xenon pIII's almost on a daily basis
(literally). In January I removed Imail completely and reinstalled the
whole thing with the then current patches (6.05?) - the problem stopped. It
started again 2 weeks later in February. I'm now down to the following
potential solutions:
- Yesterday I increased my page file size to 3000kb on my D partition, and
have had no new %100 CPU runs yet (knock on wood!)
- I'm running it on my IIS server, so I'm going to move it to it's own box
in the coming weeks. Along with the box move, I'm going to dump the user
database to a SQL box, because I've got 10,000 accounts with 10GB of user
files - and am still using Imail's Internal Database (OUCH!). (My
predecessor left a lot to be desired)
I realized yesterday I was maxing out my page file/free space (STUPID NEWBIE
MISTAKE!!), and am hoping this helps. I'll keep a line open with all you
guys going through the same thing and maybe we'll get this solved..

That's where I'm at now ... There is so much activity
around the time it happens, it's hard to spot anything
in common.
I've got the mail server task manager in a little
window and I watch it out of the corner of my eye.
I've sync'ed my watch to the server's NTP clock and
should be able to correlate the logs to a CPU trace if
I'm awake when it happens.
