Robert, A DBMail native patch would indeed be sweet, but it seems that the root of the problem is DBMail's lack of support for the Sort extension and server-side threading. Leif Jackson made a patch for the 2.0 series to support the Sort extension. I'm unaware of any patches for the 1.x series.

It's most likely due to the ports being held open, after dbmail-imapd is killed. It can't bind when the kernel says the ports are still in use. There's a /proc setting you can change to speed the port recycling up I think, /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_tw_recycle - 1 is for fast recycling. Might not be yo
