Re: Startup problem

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 your problem, but worth checking...
