[arch-general] Postfix delivery problem

[G. Schlisio]

> i took it to the postfix mailing lists now

hi all,
there is a workaround in place for now, which is disabling .fordward
completely by setting an empty forward_path.
the cause of the problem seems to be a non-POSIX behaviour of glibcs
getpwnam_r() function.
a more lengthy discussion can be found here [0].
i am not aware of any changes to glibc (2.24-2 from core installed here
since august), but maybe someone has a hint what caused this behaviour
to change?

now that a workaround is in place this becomes less urgent though, still
it would be nice to understand what actually happened.

regards
georg
