Subject: [exim] temp_errors with negative values
Does temp_errors support negative values? I'd like to add -1 to temp_errors, which
is a value sympa might return. As far as I could read the code it does not,
and exim prints
Exim configuration error:
temp_errors must be a list of numbers or an asterisk for the sympa_pipe transport
when setting temp_errors to "temp_errors = -1:73:75".

The following loglines occur without changeing temp_errors:

Adding 256 (0x100) to temp_errors does not change the behaviour.
