There is only a core file on the server. its name is mailwrapper.core and its located in /root

Check the value of kern.coredump, like this:

sysctl kern.coredump

If that says "0", then you need to enable it, like this:

sysctl kern.coredump 1

and also you should probably make a similar entry in /etc/sysctl.cnf so that your setting is preserved across reboots. If that's already set to "1", then I'm not sure what's preventing the core files from being created.
