high cpu-usage of kolab_smtp_access_policy

[Henning]

Hi!

I noticed that bug 780 appeared again and could not be resolved by
restarting postfix or emptying the queue. Killing the processes with

~$ killall kolab_smtp_access_policy

resolves the issue temporarily until it reappears. I don't know what
triggers it exactly. On outgoing mail the process is startet but it does
not always hangs with high cpu usage. Sometimes multiple processes are
spawned by postfix

~$ ps -eF|grep kolab_smtp_access_policy
kolab-n   8185  8183 82 48158 21936   3 07:42 ?        00:07:57
/usr/bin/python /usr/lib/postfix/kolab_smtp_access_policy
--verify-sender --allow-unauthenticated --timeout 15

(timeout explicitely set in /etc/postfix/master.cf) using the whole cpu.

I cannot see anything suspicious in my mail.info log.

In postfix main.cf I have

I'm on Ubuntu 14.04 with pykolab 0.6.10-0~kolab1 (kolab 3.1 from 12.04
repo) and postfix/postfix-ldap 2.11.0-1.

Please fix this soon. For now I schedule the process-killer.

Ciao,
Henning
