It could also be an unusual spam message, or SpamAssassin failing.

Anything in stderr?  It's possibly redirected to logs.  This is critical.

You can also try setting ORIGINAL_RECIPIENT in env and feeding
messages to public-inbox-mda as the usual -mda user and see if
you can reproduce it in a terminal.

Does that correspond to the timer (systemd timer?)

How does that timer run?

Normally -mda was designed to be run as part of the MTA delivery
action, but it can be fired from a terminal, shell script,
etc... provided ORIGINAL_RECIPIENT is set (as typically done by
MTAs (at least postfix).

Is it a particular message that's causing this?

Also, has this ever worked in the past?

Does it occasionally still work? (do you see any new messages?)

Please, give us as much detail about your setup as possible

Either gnats or mosquitos or similar, not sure.  There seem to
be more of them every year due to rain.
Giant itchy lumps on my arms....
No need to lift weights to bulk up, at least :P
