one idea: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/exitcodes.html

exit code 134 would be in bash's meaning (if this website is
correct all) some program died off signal 6. This would be Abort in
Linux.

prepend your script with

exec >> /tmp/trace 2>&1 set -vx

that will dump anything visible into /tmp/trace

Thank you for your continued assistance, Steffen.

You seem to be exactly correct with the Abort signal.

I prepended the values you suggested to the pipe script and here's the
relevant output:

Does this tell us anything more?

I don't see any indication that apparmor is at play, as there is no
profile that should apply in this context (and there is nothing in the
relevant log file):

# service apparmor status
apparmor module is loaded.
8 profiles are loaded.
8 profiles are in enforce mode.

I'll try to reproduce this on an identically-configured server. I
wonder if it would be worth changing the version of Dovecot. But I
hate to play whack-a-mole if a more systematic approach is to be had.

Thanks again,

Hello,

I am still struggling with this problem, and am wondering what the best course of action might be with regard to finding a solution.

This behavior is the same on two identically-configured Ubuntu 14.04 LTS servers. At least whatever the problem might be, it's consistent.

I realize that this version of Dovecot is a bit stale (2.2.9), but ultimately I am forced to work within official the Ubuntu repositories.

That said, for the sake of academia, I tried upgrading Dovecot to the latest "ee" version, to see if the problem still exists, but I receive an "ABI version mismatch" when I try to build the Antispam plugin from source. I posted to the mailing list about that and never did receive a response.

If it would be more appropriate to file a bug report on the Ubuntu Launchpad system, I am happy to do so.

Thank you for any further guidance,

-Ben
