38 /* This module handles all non-fatal errors that can happen while
39 /* attempting to deliver mail via SMTP, and implements the policy
40 /* of how to deal with the error. Depending on the nature of
41 /* the problem, delivery of a single message is deferred, delivery
42 /* of all messages to the same domain is deferred, or one or more
43 /* recipients are given up as non-deliverable and a bounce log is
44 /* updated. In any case, the recipient is marked as either KEEP
45 /* (try again with a backup host) or DROP (delete recipient from
48 /* In addition, when an unexpected response code is seen such
49 /* as 3xx where only 4xx or 5xx are expected, or any error code
50 /* that suggests a syntax error or something similar, the
51 /* protocol error flag is set so that the postmaster receives
52 /* a transcript of the session. No notification is generated for
53 /* what appear to be configuration errors - very likely, they
54 /* would suffer the same problem and just cause more trouble.
56 /* In case of a soft error, action depends on whether the error
57 /* qualifies for trying the request with other mail servers (log
58 /* an informational record only and try a backup server) or
59 /* whether this is the final server (log recipient delivery status
60 /* records and delete the recipient from the request).
62 /* smtp_sess_fail() takes a pre-formatted error report after
63 /* failure to complete some protocol handshake. The policy is
64 /* as with smtp_site_fail().
66 /* smtp_site_fail() handles the case where the program fails to
67 /* complete the initial handshake: the server is not reachable,
68 /* is not running, does not want talk to us, or we talk to ourselves.
69 /* The \fIcode\fR gives an error status code; the \fIformat\fR
70 /* argument gives a textual description.
71 /* The policy is: soft error, non-final server: log an informational
72 /* record why the host is being skipped; soft error, final server:
73 /* defer delivery of all remaining recipients and mark the destination
74 /* as problematic; hard error: bounce all remaining recipients.
75 /* The session is marked as "do not cache".
76 /* The result is non-zero.
78 /* smtp_mesg_fail() handles the case where the smtp server
79 /* does not accept the sender address or the message data,
80 /* or when the local MTA is unable to convert the message data.
81 /* The policy is: soft error, non-final server: log an informational
82 /* record why the host is being skipped; soft error, final server:
83 /* defer delivery of all remaining recipients; hard error: bounce all
