Hi,
I've recently started using dovecot-lda to handle my local maildir
deliveries from Exim. Unfortunately I've been experiencing the
occasional failed delivery - My Exim logs were showing:
Child process of virtual_dovecot_delivery transport (running
command "/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -d $local_p...@$domain
-f $sender_address -a $original_local_p...@$original_domain") was
terminated by signal 11 (Segmentation fault)
I originally thought a specific mail was causing the crash, but calling
the command myself delivered the mail without any issues. However, I
found if I ran a script that delivered the same mail 10 times, I could
reliably cause multiple segfaults all with the following backtrace:
