Run "exiwhat" to see what they're all doing.
If the system is responsible for local delivery as well, it may be that
they're all delivery processes that start up when a new message is
received.
If that's the case, you could use "queue_only" and start a queue runner
frequently to not cause a heavy impact on your disk I/O from large volumes
of incoming mail.
