Digression... when we execute an SQL INSERT is it normal that we can't
tell whether it succeeded or not? The following always appears to fail
because there's no _result_:

  warn condition = ${lookup sqlite {GREYDB INSERT INTO resenders \
            VALUES ( '$sender_host_address', \
                 '${quote_sqlite:$sender_helo_name}', \
                 '$tod_epoch' ); }{0}{1}}
       log_message = SQL INSERT FAILED


Looking at the sqlite lookup implementation doesn't help because that's
my fault too. Do we have to take the hackish approach of doing a lookup
to check if we find the object we just tried to insert? Is there a way
for me to include in a log_message the nice helpful error that 'exim -d'
gave me:

file lookup required for INSERT INTO resenders VALUES ( '81.187.2.168', 'me', '1170851182' );
in /var/spool/exim/db/greylist.db
sqlite3_exec failed: column host is not unique

We certainly do _something_ with 'search_error_message' in src/expand.c
but I can't actually work out _what_ :)
