Basically, if fastforward was setup to call a program EG
teladm-postmaster@:
| forward\ `teladm\ $SENDER`\ &&\ exit\ 99,
;
It would NOT honour the 99 exit status. It would exit with 111 and
cause a deferral. This results in multiple deliveries until the
queueulifetime value is reached.
Looking at the fastforward code shows:
217 wait_pid(&wstat,child);
218 if (wait_crashed(wstat))
219 strerr_die4sys(111,FATAL,"child crashed in ",arg,": ");
220
221 switch(wait_exitcode(wstat)) {
222 case 64: case 65: case 70: case 76: case 77: case 78: case 112:
223 case 100: _exit(100);
224 case 0: break;
225 default: _exit(111);
226 }
Dan, any reason why you don't have an extra case to handle a child
whose exit status is 99?
Does anyone else consider this a bug?

Peter
