So it's delivered a message, and is searching the
queue for others suitable to go down the same
connection. Somehow, one of the sender-addresses is
null.

A sufficient protection against the crash would
be a null-check on sender at the head of
smtp_local_identity, returning an empty string.

This doesn't explain how that null pointer got
there, nor if it can legitimately be null.
