Look at the end of qmail.c in the qmail distribution. The exit code of the child program (qmail-queue or $QMAILQUEUE) determines what error message is spit out in SMTP. The short answer is: Exit code 0 means successful delivery. Exit codes between 11 and 40 are permanent (5xx) errors. All other exit codes are temportary (4xx) errors. A longer answer is: Have your program exit with a specific exit code and then add a custom message in qmail.c to handle that code. For example: case 32: return "Dmail server thinks this message is spam(#5.3.0)"; case 33: return "Dvirus rejected(#5.3.0)"; case 34: return "Dyou send us nothing but crap(#5.3.0)"; case 35: return "Dyou are listed in the our blackhole list(#5.3.0)"; case 36: return "Dleave us alone, jackass(#5.3.0)"; case 41: return "Zif you are not a spammer, try again in 5 minutes(#4.3.0)"; -- Eric Ziegast
