All I can offer is this from the spec.txt:
| temp_errors
|
| Type: string
| Default: see below
|
|
| This option contains a colon-separated list of numbers. If
| ignore_status is false and the command exits with a return code that
| matches one of the numbers, the failure is treated as temporary and
| the delivery is deferred. The default setting contains the codes
| defined by EX_TEMPFAIL and EX_CANTCREAT in sysexits.h. If Exim is
| compiled on a system that does not define these macros, it assumes
| values of 75 and 73, respectively.
