+      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.
