According to the man page:
qmail-remote prints some number of recipient reports, followed
by a message report. Each report is terminated by a 0 byte.
Each report begins with a single letter:
r Recipient report: acceptance.
h Recipient report: permanent rejection.
s Recipient report: temporary rejection.
K Message report: success. host has taken responsibility for deliv-
ering the message to each acceptable recipient.
Z Message report: temporary failure.
D Message report: permanent failure.
After this letter comes a human-readable description of what happened.
and:
qmail-remote always exits zero.
So, the exit code is useless in a .qmail file. However, wrapping
qmail-remote in a shell script that checks the recipient report and
message report and exits appropriately is not useless. This is in fact
what I've done and it seems to work so far.
