The fix for the panic itself is here:
https://github.com/dovecot/core/commit/fbed9168dc3b104b09bd748409aec902328cd8e5
Given that you provided an example message without a return-path header,
I am confused on how this panic would occur at your end. Are you really
sure this is the message that Dovecot gets to see? If you extracted it
from the STMP queue, that may not be the same.
You could also obtain a GDB backtrace from dovecot-lda, which would tell
me from which part of the code this panic is reached (I currently see
only one obvious path). You can run dovecot-lda from command line within
GDB to achieve this: `gdb --args dovecot-lda -p <message-file> -d
<user>` and then execute `r` .. wait until it crashes an then issue 'bt
full` (https://dovecot.org/bugreport.html).

Stephan.
