876 status code to request deferral. A number of systems contain the following
879 #define EX_TEMPFAIL 75
883 EX_TEMPFAIL -- temporary failure, indicating something that
884 is not really an error. In sendmail, this means
885 that a mailer (e.g.) could not create a connection,
886 and the request should be reattempted later.
888 Based on this, we use exit code EX_TEMPFAIL as a default to mean "defer" when
889 not ignoring the returned status. However, there is now an option that
890 contains a list of temporary codes, with TEMPFAIL and CANTCREAT as defaults.
892 Another case that needs special treatment is if execve() failed (typically
893 the command that was given is a non-existent path). By default this is
894 treated as just another failure, but if freeze_exec_fail is set, the reaction
895 is to freeze the message rather than bounce the address. Exim used to signal
896 this failure with EX_UNAVAILABLE, which is definined in many systems as
898 #define EX_UNAVAILABLE 69
902 EX_UNAVAILABLE -- A service is unavailable. This can occur
903 if a support program or file does not exist. This
904 can also be used as a catchall message when something
905 you wanted to do doesn't work, but you don't know why.
907 However, this can be confused with a command that actually returns 69 because
908 something *it* wanted is unavailable. At release 4.21, Exim was changed to
909 use return code 127 instead, because this is what the shell returns when it
910 is unable to exec a command. We define it as EX_EXECFAILED, and use it in
911 child.c to signal execve() failure and other unexpected failures such as
912 setuid() not working - though that won't be the case here because we aren't
