Hi all,
we just ran into a double entendre of the return code of exim wher using
the option -bS .
The manual says:
-bS
...
If any error is encountered, reports are written to the standard output
and error streams, and Exim gives up immediately. The return code is 0
if no error was detected; it is 1 if one or more messages were accepted
before the error was detected; otherwise it is 2.
...
But if there is an error in the config we get return code 1, too:
exim -C /tmp/exim.conf -bS ; echo "return code: "$?
2008-03-19 18:03:19 Exim configuration error in line 7
of /tmp/exim.conf:
main option "bla" unknown
return code: 1
We have a temp_errors=2 in the config but a config error forced mails to
bounce exept of deferring them.
Shouldn't config errors be mapped to 2 when -bS is used?
Greetings
Lars
