TRANSPORTS: A delivery attempt results in one of the following values being placed in addr->transport_return: OK success DEFER temporary failure FAIL permanent failure PANIC disaster - causes exim to bomb The field is initialized to DEFER when the address is created, in order that unexpected process crashes or other problems don't cause the message to be deleted. For non-OK values, additional information is placed in addr->errno, addr->more_errno, and optionally in addr->message. These are inspected only if the status is not OK, with one exception (see below). In addition, the addr->special_action field can be set to request a non-default action. The default action after FAIL is to return to sender; the default action after DEFER is nothing. The alternatives are: SPECIAL_NONE (default) no special action SPECIAL_FREEZE freeze the message SPECIAL_WARN send warning message The SPECIAL_WARN action is the exception referred to above. It is picked up only after a *successful* delivery; it causes a warning message to be sent containing the text of warn_message to warn_to. It can be used in appendfile, for example, to send a warning message when the mailbox size crosses a given threshold. If the transport is handling a batch of several addresses, it may either put an individual value in each address structure, and return TRUE, or it may put a common value in the first address, and return FALSE. Remote transports usually return TRUE and local transports usually return FALSE; however, the lmtp transport may return either value, depending on what happens inside it. ****
