Summary: dspam exit codes to follow MTA

Initial Comment:
Make dspam able to tell postfix to hold on to mail when delivery issues occur 
so that it doesn't bounce. return EX_TEMPFAIL for example if it can't 
communicate with the delivery socket, instead of 255 error code. From the email 
with Steve...

Yes. That would be possible. Most MTA's obey the error codes defined in 
sysexits.h:
#define EX_USAGE        64      /* command line usage error */
#define EX_DATAERR      65      /* data format error */
#define EX_NOINPUT      66      /* cannot open input */
#define EX_NOUSER       67      /* addressee unknown */
#define EX_NOHOST       68      /* host name unknown */
#define EX_UNAVAILABLE  69      /* service unavailable */
#define EX_SOFTWARE     70      /* internal software error */
#define EX_OSERR        71      /* system error (e.g., can't fork) */
#define EX_OSFILE       72      /* critical OS file missing */
#define EX_CANTCREAT    73      /* can't create (user) output file */
#define EX_IOERR        74      /* input/output error */
#define EX_TEMPFAIL     75      /* temp failure; user is invited to retry */
#define EX_PROTOCOL     76      /* remote error in protocol */
#define EX_NOPERM       77      /* permission denied */
#define EX_CONFIG       78      /* configuration error */

So to have Postfix (or another MTA) retry we would need to return EX_TEMPFAIL. 
Currently DSPAM returns various error codes but there is no interface exposed 
to the DSPAM operator to influence the codes returned. I could imagine that we 
could add such a capability to DSPAM and allow to control from within 
dspam.conf what to return under what condition.

Some stuff is already inside DSPAM and would only need to be extended. But I 
can tell you now that for DSPAM 3.9.0 this will not happen as we are currently 
in a feature freeze. Might I suggest to you to add a feature request into our 
tracker so that we could consider adding that functionality into DSPAM after 
releasing 3.9.0?"
