That's weird. I thought it could be an error related to Horde since the
line has this format: <timestamp> <hostname> HORDE: <message>:

----------
Dec 26 19:40:15 mail HORDE: Invalid VObject, line 1 did not follow the
icalendar/vcard format [pid 21403 on line 143 of
"/usr/share/php/Sabre/VObject/Reader.php"]
----------

This entry has been registered in /var/log/syslog. On the other hand,
the /usr/share/php/Sabre/VObject/Reader.php file has 223 lines:

----------
root at mail:~# cat /usr/share/php/Sabre/VObject/Reader.php | wc -l
223
----------

If it's helpful, this is the related code block:

----------
126         // Properties
127         //$result =
preg_match('/(?P<name>[A-Z0-9-]+)(?:;(?P<parameters>^(?<!:):))(.*)$/',$line,$matches);
128
129         if ($options & self::OPTION_FORGIVING) {
130             $token = '[A-Z0-9-\._]+';
131         } else {
132             $token = '[A-Z0-9-\.]+';
133         }
134         $parameters = "(?:;(?P<parameters>([^:^\"]|\"([^\"]*)\")*))?";
135         $regex = "/^(?P<name>$token)$parameters:(?P<value>.*)$/i";
136
137         $result = preg_match($regex,$line,$matches);
138
139         if (!$result) {
140             if ($options & self::OPTION_IGNORE_INVALID_LINES) {
141                 return null;
142             } else {
143                 throw new ParseException('Invalid VObject, line ' .
($lineNr+1) . ' did not follow the icalendar/vcard format');
144             }
145         }

I thought that it could be an invalid vcard although I don't know if it
is possible to increase the verbosity of the log to determine what is
the email or the content that is triggering that error in order to
identify it.

I thought it might be related since the memory error is only shown after
the "Invalid VObject" error arises.


Thanks for your time.


Kind regards,
Daniel
