Please help: some incoming mail is not being delivered - stuck in /var/lib/amavis/tmp

[Mahringer, Thomas]

thanks for pointing me to wallaced !
I found out that all the lost emails where still in 
/var/spool/pykolab/wallace/resources/incoming reformated as a json 
object.
also here is a post on the kolab-devel list related to this problem: 
http://www-old.kolab.org/pipermail/kolab-devel/2013-January/014063.html
I didn't try the fix described there though, it seems no wallace 
modules are enabled in my kolab installation anyway, so i also just 
disabled wallace in the postfix config.
