A quick look at the code suggests that what it does is not quite what
you describe. You should get the error stuff in both cases, but not for
the EX_TEMPFAIL case. However, I haven't actually run any tests, and I'm
afraid I haven't got time to do that immediately. However, I have made a
note to check this all out when I can find time.
