Wierd thing.

My qmail-queue replacement that does virus scanning - scan4virus - is
registering a exit status 111 when it forks a call to the real qmail-queue.

Testing has shown that this only occurs when hops>100 - i.e when a loop has
occured for whatever reason. The sending SMTP client shows the server
qmail-smtpd process returning "too many hops"/etc, but (my) qmail-queue
still seems to be called, and when my qmail-queue replacement calls
qmail-queue, it exits with a 111.

Nothing in the qmail-1.03 source shows qmail-queue exiting 111 - so I'm at a
lost to understand what's happening here...

I've attached the perl subroutine showing this behaviour (line: "Unable to
queue message").

Any suggestions?
