Nov 16 17:13:45 zeus exim[10613]: 2011-11-16 17:13:45 1RQi7C-0001lG-BX
** test at apisoft.pl R=localuser T=local_delivery: Child process of
local_delivery transport (running command
"/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -d $local_part@$domain  -f
$sender_address -a $original_local_part@$original_domain") was
terminated by signal 11 (Segmentation fault)
