The interesting bit is this: > destination: MDA_external(allow_root_commands="False", arguments="('-e', > '-d', '[email protected]')", command="deliver", group="vmail", > ignore_stderr="False", path="/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver", unixfrom="False", > user="vmail") It looks like your external MDA is receiving (or causing) the SIGABRT. To verify this: 1) change your configuration to just deliver to a Maildir with the built-in Maildir delivery target. 2) retrieve the message you think is problematic (or all messages, though if you have data-dependent problems this can make it harder to figure out). Once you have that working properly - chances are it will just work the first time, provided you run getmail as the user who owns the maildir you want to deliver to - then you will know the problem is with your external MDA, its configuration, or its permissions (or some combination of the three).
