I wanted to forward this to the Q-S list since I am wondering if the
proposed changes in sophie's error codes will affect Q-S. Does anyone
know if any mods need to be made to Q-S to handle the change in error
codes?
Thanks,

Hi list!
I think Sebastian's scandir patch looks good and should be applied.
However, consequences should be clear:
Without configure option --enable-only-fatal-err each internal
error would be reported as -1. It depends on calling program
what happens then. Amavis, e.g. has an internal switch
called $requeue_on_scanner_errors (default = "yes") which
would make amavis requeue the mail. But that would make no sense
for a corrupted or encrypted mail, it will not be different
next time. There was a discussion on the list about it some
time ago. So in this environment --enable-only-fatal-err
should be strongly recommended, otherwise such mails would
be blocked (and a mail scanner should not block mails he
cannot decrypt).
virus non fatal error fatal error
----------------------------------------------------------------
sophie3.03 1 0 0
sophie-3.04rc1 1 0 0
sophie-3.04rc1 1 -1 -1
with scandir-patch
sophie-3.04rc1 1 0 -1
with scandir-patch
--enable-only-fatal-err
Those who would prefer to completely keep old behavior
of sophie must make the calling program treat -1 return
code always the same as 0.
I think it should be mentioned within docs because the patch
would change sophie's behaviour.
