ve happened if the deliver command returned an error to
its parent process (procmail, which in turn would have propagated the
error to qmail-local).
Better yet, Dovecot's deliver agent should return a temporary failure,
although I'm not sure if there's a conventional exit code to p
% grep define.*EX_TEMPFAIL /usr/include/sysexits.h
> #define EX_TEMPFAIL 75 /* temp failure; user is invited to retry */
I checked, qmail-lspawn handles 75 as a temporary failure.
Then I dunno what happened in my case, but some mail definitely went
into a black hole.
