I have seen this behaviour on 2.01 (but not on 2.02 or 2.03). I was
never able to narrow it down much since rarely did I try to start/top
the daemons once they were running, but, on occasion, lmtpd would become
an un-killable zombie that required a reboot of the machine.
I am using custom init scripts - not the ones in dbmail.

Summary: a sig term to the root process e.g. the pid from
the pidfile doesn't shutdown imapd/pop3d
Description:
On the curent and all releases I have tried so far with the preforking code
in it (including cvs head). It seems that when I want to shutdown the
dbmail deamons doing a kill `cat /var/run/dbmail-imapd.pid` ..etc. shows
in the logs that the main handler got the TERM request it pushes it out to
the children but they don't stop. some will go defunct but other will still
keep running I have to end up doing a killall -9 <daemon> to get it to exit
fully. If I kill -9 just the root pid it dies but the children remain. Paul
& dbmail crew you all know normaly I would debug and figure this out myself
but I don't have the time right now, thanks for looking into it, does
anyone else see this same behavior?

I just tried it on my server, and I see similar messages but no zombies or
other problem processes; everything shuts down as expected. Works For Me
(TM)...

humm, what os...etc are you on? Are you doing the fully installed product
or from the compiled directory using the re-linking script like I am ( I
need to do this for testing..etc.)
