     If not specified, it defaults to the general timeout value.
 
+ 7. The new variables $sender_verify_failure and $recipient_verify_failure
+    contain information about exactly what failed. In an ACL, after one of
+    these failures, the relevant variable contains one of the following words:
+
+      qualify       the address was unqualified (no domain), and the message
+                    was neither local nor came from an exempted host;
+
+      route         routing failed;
+
+      mail          routing succeeded, and a callout was attempted; rejection
+                    occurred at or before the MAIL command (that is, on initial
+                    connection, HELO, or MAIL);
+
+      recipient     the RCPT command in a callout was rejected;
+
+      postmaster    the postmaster check in a callout was rejected.
+
+    The main use of these variables is expected to be to distinguish between
+    rejections of MAIL and rejections of RCPT.
+
+ 8. The command line option -dd behaves exactly like -d except when used on a
+    command that starts a daemon process. In that case, debugging is turned off
+    for the subprocesses that the daemon creates. Thus, it is useful for
+    monitoring the behaviour of the daemon without creating as much output as
+    full debugging.
