I have a mail server that has been running fine for a couple years
running 3.7 and has recently started crashing every couple days.  I
know that it's well beyond the support window, but if someone can help
me out using gdb/ddb to figure out the problem I'd appreciate it.

I've got the bsd.n[.core] files and have tinkered with them a little
(just following what's in the crash(8) manpage). Specifically I'm
having trouble with the "Crash Location Determination" section using
ddb, which says:

"First, in ddb(4) find the function that caused the crash.  It is either
 the function at the top of the traceback or the function under the call
 to panic() or uvm_fault()."

How do I find the function that caused it?

I'm sure it's probably a memory thing but I figure this would be a
good chance to learn some deeper troubleshooting techniques. :-)
