Hi,
I found the following in my logfiles: The failure is not reproducable at the moment. System is delivering mails to mailboxes with no problems at all.
It is a production installation with medium load.
dovecot --version: 1.1.7 OS: Linux (Gentoo/x86 stable) - grsec enabled kernel
deliver.log:

mta.log (postfix with dovecot/deliver pipe transport): Jan 22 00:02:09 argon postfix/pipe[21251]: E8126A3671: to=<user@example.tld>, orig_to=<localalias>, relay=dovecot, delay=0.38, delays=0.03/0/0/0.35, dsn=5.3.0, status=bounced (Command died with signal 6: "/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver")
Neither the grsec.log nor dmesg said anything special.
The box had filesystem issues a month ago. I sucessufly fscked it. Do you think its a hidden fs problem or a dovecot issue?
Here in Germay the time is at 0:30, I'll sleep some hours until I can respond to "need more information request (conf-file, or so)"
Thx in advance!
