Not sure. This is mainly contributed code which I did not originate.
Presumably the belief is that this is a configuration error, so the
message should be kept and tried again - hopefully when the
configuration has been corrected. This is similar to deferring for a
syntax error in an Exim filter file.

I believe the LDAP URLs follow some RFC. I do not know if it would allow
for such an extension.
