Patch to add -X option

Hello,

I use spamc as a simple delivery filter with postfix like this in master.cf:

dovecot-sa   unix  -       n       n       -       -       pipe
  flags=ODRhu user=vmail:mail argv=/usr/bin/spamc -x -X -u ${recipient} -e
/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -f ${sender} -a ${recipient} -d ${user}@${nexthop}


I was unhappy with how postfix would bounce mails when spamd wasn't running and
spamc was run with -x to prevent unfiltered mail to come trough.

When spamc returns EX_TEMPFAIL instead of EX_UNAVAILABLE, postfix will queue
the mail and try to deliver it later.

Please be aware that I don't have much recent experience with C-code and none
with the spamassassin code as such but the attached patch works well for me.

I would appreciate it if something like this could be added to spamassassin.
