I have DBmail working with XMail.  I have a mailproc.tab file with this 
line in it.

"external"      "0"     "10"    "/var/MailRoot/for_imap.sh"     
"@@FILE"        "@@RCPT"       "@@FROM"

Here is the forimap.sh file

#!/bin/sh
perl -pi -e 's/\r\n/\n/g' $1
/usr/local/sbin/dbmail-smtp -d $2 < $1

It was pretty easy to get it working.  Just make sure that you setup the 
account on dbmail before you put the mailproc.tab out in the test users 
directory.  I would also make an alias such as

[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
firstname.lastname

I use dbmailadministrator to configure dbmail via web page.  "it works" 
is about all that I can say for it.  not the most userfriendly, although 
there may be a new version out. 

I upgraded to the latest stable release of dbmail yesterday, hoping for 
more stability.  The version 2.0.7 had some werid memory leaks or 
something.  Every week I would have to kill all of the processes and 
restart it.
here is my startup script

../etc/init.d/dbmail

#!/bin/sh
sleep 5
/usr/local/sbin/dbmail-imapd -f /etc/dbmail.conf

here are some of the changes to the ./etc/dbmail.conf file

NCHILDREN=20                      # default number of LMTP handlers 
(each is a process)
MAXCHILDREN=10                    # max. number of LMTP handlers
MINSPARECHILDREN=2
MAXSPARECHILDREN=4
MAXCONNECTS=100           # the maximum number of connections a default 
childs makes
TIMEOUT=300                       # the

Give me a shout if you need some more help.  By the way I'm running 
RedHat Linux Enterprise, (it worked on version 9 too)
