  Start with what OS/version and the contents of your /etc/init.d/dbmail
script.  I'd guess start-stop-daemon is looking up pid numbers in
files (eg. from /var/run/ or somewhere) and trying to kill those,
but for whatever reason they're already dead.  Another possibility is
it's using a "killall" which tries to signal every process of a given
name (eg. dbmail-pop3d), but once it kills the master (which itsself
kills it's children), some of the process id's have already exited
by the time start-stop-daemon gets to sending them a signal.

  You might also try "ps auxw|grep dbmail" prior to running your
init script, to see if those processes existed at the time (and what
they were) or not.
