Dear Wallace: where's my mail?

[Daniel Hoffend]

Hi Nick

I'm not a python expert. I've created a bugzilla ticket for you cause
fatal errors are never a good thing. It looks like postfix successfully
delivered the mail message to wallace:10026 which stored the message
in its spool folder /var/spool/pykolab/wallace/resources/incoming/
under the filename 'tmpy6zUa0'.

It looks like the wallace deamon has a problem with parsing some 
expected
mail headers and then fails.

I guess the kolab developer would be happy if you could provide 
additional
informations like the mail headers (from the spool file above). Or if 
you
could run the wallace daemon manually with debug enabled

service wallace stop
/usr/sbin/wallaced --user kolab -d9

If you don't need wallace (for handling/booking resources, handling itip 
invites, etc)
you can just savely disable wallance in the content-filter of the 
smtp:10025
process in postfix's master.conf.

if you want your stuck messages back (after removing wallace atm) you 
can move
them manually out of the spool folder into the spool folder of postfix 
and
use postfix flush or something (maybe do some additional readings before
injecting mails into the postfix queue).

I know this won't fix your problem but maybe with some additional help
the kolab guys can easily fix it.

Daniel
