It's surprisingly hard to detect a "defer". I ascribe this
to our indoctrination with Boolean logic. However, in a previous
situation I used this:


# Technique for explicitly seeing defers; credit andrew@???
# Call this from a "warn" verb.
sverify_callout:
  require       set acl_c8 =    defer
                # Easynet puts a 30s delay on bounce inputs :-(
  accept        verify =        sender/callout=60s,random
                set acl_c8 =    accept
  deny          set acl_c8 =    deny



(by "call" I would have meant using an "acl= sverify_callout"
ACL condition)

Perhaps you could adapt that to your needs.


There is no general method, Indeed, defers are a natural part
of SMTP processing.
