Possibly. The process of teaching the whole world about two different
sets of mail return codes is painful.
There is a catch though: the behaviour of calling "sendmail" from a
.qmail file would change. Right now scripts that called "sendmail"
from .forward and exited with its exit status can do the same thing
under qmail and "just work".
Teaching the sendmail wrapper to use different exit codes depending on
whether it is running from .qmail isn't a good idea.
I suspect there isn't a "right" answer for all cases.
I've not used dot-forward: how does it handle exit code 75 from
commands that it runs?
