This is what happened this morning to me:

I have posted it in its entirety, as there is, in this particular instance,
litte which would be unrelated to the issue there or that wouldn't be needed
circumstantially to consider the issue in question, which is (IIUC, but do
correct me if I'm wrong:

maildrop being somehow talked/nagged/<other action here> into trying to send
mail (probably, but not certainly, the one that it was being delivering).

I have noticed this issue before, occasionally.

The system that I use is: Gentoo, at testing (~amd64), so not necessarily
stable, but it does work like stable almost completely all the time.

The getmail is:

$ getmail --version
getmail 4.48.0
$

and the maildrop... no --version, no -V options, so I'll give this:


# equery c maildrop
*maildrop-2.6.0 (25 Sep 2012)

  25 Sep 2012; Eray Aslan <[email protected]> +maildrop-2.6.0.ebuild:
  Version bump

  05 Jul 2012; Jeroen Roovers <[email protected]> maildrop-2.5.5-r1.ebuild:
  Stable for HPPA (bug #413597).

  17 Jun 2012; Raúl Porcel <[email protected]> maildrop-2.5.5-r1.ebuild:
  alpha/ia64/s390/sh/sparc stable wrt #413597

  29 May 2012; Brent Baude <[email protected]> maildrop-2.5.5-r1.ebuild:
  Marking maildrop-2.5.5-r1 ppc for bug 413597
  ...
#

which tells me I have to file a bug with Gentoo, as this issue has been fixed,
IIUC, a few months ago, as the author informed us on this list about the
use-after-free bug that was fixed.

http://sourceforge.net/p/courier/mailman/courier-maildrop/thread/cone.1430182655.233366.31648.1004%40monster.email-scan.com/#msg34063125

(
I really hope, but am uncertain that this saussage of a url will be sent
correctly, so you can search yourself, it was this message by the subject and
author:

[maildropl] New releases of courier packages.
From: Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@co...> - 2015-04-28 00:57:44 

where you can find:

• A use-after-free bug in sqwebmail was fixed; occurs only in case of a  
hardware disk failure, or running out of disk space.

Pls. do see further above, where I kindly ask to be corrected if I'm wrong.

end of the citation
)

...Sorry, why has it taken me so long? I'll send all this te3xt as a reply to
that email...

So, if I'm not wrong, and if other Gentoo users of Maildrop are eager for this
issue to be fixed, they can investigate themselves and file a bug themselves,
as I can not promise to be able to do it very soon. I might, but I might not
do it at all. Of poor health and also busy these days I am.

Regards!
