severity 408406 important thanks Sorry, I don't see any reason that this bug should be considered 'grave'. You've indicated in bug #408450 that the malloc crash is ultimately caused by libnss-ldap, not by deliver itself. The behavior of the malloc checker here is reasonable, the behavior of deliver is (while somewhat pathological in its use of getpwnam) is reasonable, and the behavior of postfix under the circumstances is reasonable. If you want postfix to defer mail in case of a deliver failure instead of bouncing it, this is a configuration option that's available to you, by putting a shell wrapper around deliver to change the return code if nothing else.
Anyway, I think the real bug is here: /* * If a local sender is not a mailer, and if the original and * local senders differ, record the attempt at forgery. */ if (!mailer_user && ((sender_ct = name_context(orig_sender)) == NULL || sender_ct->ct_uid != real_uid)) { (void) fputs("X-Delivered: at request of ", dfp[T_HDR]); (void) fputs(local_sender, dfp[T_HDR]); (void) fputs(" on ", dfp[T_HDR]); (void) fputs(hostname, dfp[T_HDR]); (void) fputc('\n', dfp[T_HDR]); } This code really shouldn't be hit at all; and it's probably being hit because 'postfix' isn't recognized as a mailer user. So this problem seems fixable by adding this user to the list of known "mailer" users. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
