Yes. The message goes to stderr and maildrop tries to continue. In case
authdaemon is not essential to message delivery, the message is harmless
and maildrop succeeds. That is why its exit code indicates
(definitively) that there was a failure. However, in cases where
authdaemon *is* essential to message delivery, the message is a
debugging aid that complements the exit code that indicates that there
*was* a failure.

Admittedly, it might be nice if the stderr from the connect attempt
could be buffered and printed out only upon an error exit. But the lack
of this may be due to some technical constraint such as the library
printing it rather than maildrop itself (haven't checked this time).
