995 #define EX_TEMPFAIL 75
999 EX_TEMPFAIL -- temporary failure, indicating something that
1000 is not really an error. In sendmail, this means
1001 that a mailer (e.g.) could not create a connection,
1002 and the request should be reattempted later.
1004 Based on this, we use exit code EX_TEMPFAIL as a default to mean "defer" when
1005 not ignoring the returned status. However, there is now an option that
1006 contains a list of temporary codes, with TEMPFAIL and CANTCREAT as defaults.
1008 Another case that needs special treatment is if execve() failed (typically
1009 the command that was given is a non-existent path). By default this is
1010 treated as just another failure, but if freeze_exec_fail is set, the reaction
1011 is to freeze the message rather than bounce the address. Exim used to signal
1012 this failure with EX_UNAVAILABLE, which is defined in many systems as
1014 #define EX_UNAVAILABLE 69
1016 with the description
1018 EX_UNAVAILABLE -- A service is unavailable. This can occur
1019 if a support program or file does not exist. This
1020 can also be used as a catchall message when something
1021 you wanted to do doesn't work, but you don't know why.
1023 However, this can be confused with a command that actually returns 69 because
1024 something *it* wanted is unavailable. At release 4.21, Exim was changed to
1025 use return code 127 instead, because this is what the shell returns when it
1026 is unable to exec a command. We define it as EX_EXECFAILED, and use it in
1027 child.c to signal execve() failure and other unexpected failures such as
1028 setuid() not working - though that won't be the case here because we aren't
