Hi @kokarl , Could you please provide more information, such as all of the logs related to the message that caused the crash in question?

[kokarl]

Hello @ikedas

Nothing in my sympa.log as I'm in log_level =0 in my sympa.conf. I just switched to log_level=4 and waiting sympa_msg.pl crash again...

[ikedas]

log_level doesn't matter. Please show the log from when the message in question was picked from msg spool to when the crashing occurred: Show all logs for this period, rather than just taking out several lines that you think make sense (sensitive information may be masked).

Here are the logs I got before sympa_msg.pl crashes :

Hi @kokarl ,

The signal 10 (Bus Error on FreeBSD) is scaresely considered that it is caused by Sympa itself.

This error is most likely caused by any bugs in external Perl module(s) used by Sympa and other software. Another relatively rare cause could be a hardware failure.

You'd be better to monitor if the similar problems continue to occur. If so, you should consider updating the OS and all software packages and/or replacing the hardware.

Hi @ikedas

Thanks for your feedback. First, I will try to update all the perl module installed on my FreeBSD Server, and monitor what's goind on. And If the issue still occurs, I will update all the packages installed on my system.
