Package: postfix Version: 2.9.3-2.1~bpo60+1 Severity: important Using ldaps for virtual_mailbox_map validation makes smtpd crash when the server receive a RCPT TO message from the client. (can be tested with netcat or telnet to simulate an SMTP exchange between a client and postfix).
Exactly same behavior as described in #572841<http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=572841> but on Squeeze using postfix from backports (postfix 2.9.3-2.1~bpo60+1). Here is a message: Nov 13 10:05:44 test postfix/master[1908]: warning: process /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd pid 7863 killed by signal 6 Strace sheds light on the issue: strace -tt -s 4096 -f -p 8269 -e trace=file ...
