I was having this exact same problem. Thanks Steven.

After recently adding the -f parameter to the call to the deliver command which is called by Postfix, I found that e-mail with a null return path (MAIL FROM:<>) was causing Dovecot deliver to SEGFAULT. I verified this by making this patch to deliver.c (notice I fixed a typo here, too):
*** deliver.c.orig Fri Oct 13 07:32:28 2006 --- deliver.c Fri Oct 27 21:26:08 2006
*** 446,454 **** i++; if (i == argc) { i_fatal_status(EX_USAGE, ! "Missing envleope argument"); } ! envelope_sender = argv[i]; } else { print_help(); i_fatal_status(EX_USAGE, --- 446,455 ---- i++; if (i == argc) { i_fatal_status(EX_USAGE, ! "Missing envelope argument"); } ! if (*argv[i]) ! envelope_sender = argv[i]; } else { print_help(); i_fatal_status(EX_USAGE,
While this fixed my SEGFAULT, it still leaves the "From_" line with the default "dovecot.deliver" as the return path, something I don't want. It should be "MAILER-DAEMON" or some-such just like all the other LDAs in the case of a NULL return path. Perhaps there needs to be a new parameter so one can specify what a NULL return path should be converted to when it is encountered...
Also, note that the "Usage" message in deliver.c does not include the relatively new -f option either, so that should have been part of my above patch as well.
