Without seeing the crash dump it is very difficult to say what is
going on here. I very much doubt the problem is with dtmail.
Log a new call with Sun Enterprise Services (or your service provider)
and send them the crash dump.
If you don't have a service contract, go and by a copy of Panic
and learn how to do crash dump analysis yourself :-)
At a first pass it might be worth checking this isn't some very
subtle disk corruption by changing the mount options for the file
system with the folders on it to use -o onerror=umount or -o onerror=lock
