In general, a returned value from a command can mean anything the
command choses it to mean. The only absolutely fixed value is zero,
meaning "success". In practice, some commands choose to follow the
values in /usr/include/sysexits.h.
Based on this, the Exim pipe transport uses 69 (EX_UNAVAILABLE) if it is
unable to exec the command.
