So after some testing I think I can confirm that this crash is gone on 
my test server. I am in the process of setting up another mail server 
(which will go into production eventually) and will be testing this fix 
again. 

Is this patch in 1.2.5 as well? Didn't see anything mentioned in the 
release notes [1].

Anyway, thanks for taking care of the problem, Timo!
