Hello Patrick,
I've been reported such issues when a backup system paused or froze
the virtual machine running piler. I suspect that it might be the
case for you based on the time and days you mentioned.
The problem in such cases is that piler-smtp is in the middle of
processing an email, then the system is frozen for a few minutes
enough to pass the smtp timeout limit (60 sec), and then when it's
unfrozen then piler-smtp notices the timeout situation, then tears
down the connection. However, at the end of the session it tries
to tear down the already terminated and freed connection data.
So, let's try the following: get the master branch, recompile piler,
however replace the piler-smtp binary only, nothing else. Then let's
see if the problem is solved.

Hello everyone,
a few weeks ago 2 of our Piler instances began segfaulting - more
precisely, several times per month (but not every day night) at about
02:30 am local time the MS Exchange server that has the Piler instance
setup as journaling target connects to piler-smtp, upon which
piler-smtp segfaults after trying to store an email that clearly
doesn't get parsed correctly by piler-smtp as it is represented as
gibberish (and gibberish cannot be renamed...)
See below for a few of the latest examples. Interestingly, the SIGSEGV
did not happen Sunday and Monday night, meaning the day following a
non-weekday? Not going on long enough that I could call it a pattern,
but in any case it would be nice if piler-smtp didn't segfault in the
first place.
What can I do to supply more useful information to get this fixed? Or
has there been meaningful work on piler-smtp in the meantime that this
could / would've already been fixed?
Thanks, Patrick
