Package: exim4-base
Version: 4.63-15
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/share/man/man8/exim.8.gz
Mention EXIT STATUS: when will exim4 return what value to the shell.
Mention that exim's "sendmail -t with no arguments" is not portable, and
what should one use if one wants it also to work on a postfix machine.
Mention how user not in the trusted user list, and hence not able to
use mailq, can get any idea of if there mail was actually sent or not
or stuck etc., yes, when they haven't got an error reply.
P.S., no way to list or reset these:
Spool file is locked (another process is handling..)
one can merely stare at them in the logfiles.

$ man exim | grep 'return code'
Reformatting exim(8), please wait...
The return code is zero if the message is successfully
The return code is 0 if no error was detected; it is 1 if one
The return code is 2 if any address failed outright; it is 1
The return code is 2 if any address failed outright; it is 1
receiving process exits with a return code of zero. If not,
the return code is 2 if the problem is that the original mes-
a non-zero return code, whether or not the error message was
standard error file (stderr). The return code is 1 for all
Seems as if this is documented for the command line options that
return meaningful return codes. Closing the bug.
Feel free to re-open with an explanation why this is not enough.
Greetings
Marc
