Hello,

this has come up again in <http://bugs.debian.org/567876>. Since the
triggered error message is not of the "oh no, something horribly and
unexpected broke, let's warn the admin about pending dooom."-kind it
should not go to paniclog (but only to mainlog). Further on a little
more verbosity could not hurt, dkim_exim_verify_feed's exit code
would provide more info.

thanks, cu andreas
