Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
Today at 17:30-ish, my MTA (exim4) decided to generate a whole bunch of
"Mail delivery notifications" seemingly out of nowhere from mails that
have been delivered just fine. The smoking gun was found in the logs:
May 13 22:14:14 debian64 cyrus/lmtpunix[19567]: SQL backend defaulting to
engine 'pgsql'
May 13 22:14:14 debian64 cyrus/lmtpunix[19567]: executed

So, lmtp aborted on delivery. But somehow it managed to abort just after the
mails got delivered. This was very weird.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Well I was looking around. I got a error message: "*** invalid %N$ use detected
***" in the dumps
that gave me the right track and I hit "jackpot" and found this issue on github
of the main project:
<https://github.com/cyrusimap/cyrus-imapd/issues/1981>
(I copied the title from it!)
The issue explained it all. And I can confirm that after replacing the
SESSIONID=<%2$s> with SESSIONID=<%s>

LMTP worked as intented (well, apart from that SESSIONID being a bit wrong...).
So, what to do? It seems the -DFORTIFY_SOURCE=2 is set by the build-system or
is there another way?
