Given that qpsmtpd is written in Perl, NEXT is perhaps a better choice
than CONTINUE, but absent that I would have preferred CONTINUE.

The other ones like DEFER, PASS_THROUGH, UNHANDLED etc imply things
beyond just letting the next plugin run, which may not match what the
plugin does.  Eg: all of my plugins will set notes() for blocking
reasons, leaving the actual "DENY" for a latter plugin.

I consider this on the level of gratuitous changes that aren't worth
doing unless it's part of a much bigger overhaul/cleanup (eg: the
"Unifying QP" thread).
