dovecot - May 2007 - deliver exit codes?

Before switching to dovecot deliver for all local deliveries, I'm
calling deliver from maildrop (yes, don't laugh).

Snippet from my global /etc/maildroprc:

# Store maillist & junk messages directly
/^Precedence: ?list/
if ( $MATCH )
   {
   exception {
      log "Bulk message: $MATCH"
      #to "$DEFAULT"
      to "|$DELIVER"
   }
}

I replaced 
to "$DEFAULT"
(meaning: delivery to $HOME/Maildir) with
to "|$DELIVER"
(meaning: pipe the mail into dovecot deliver, and deliver to INBOX =
$HOME/Maildir)

This works really well, UNLESS a user exceeds his/her quota: In that
particular case, deliver fails to deliver the mail and generates a
bounce, all on it's own. 

It's exit status is 0 in that case, so my MTA (postfix) thinks that the
mail has been delivered successfully.

I'd prefer deliver to return EX_TEMPFAIL, which I can pass through
maildrop back to postfix, which will then log a temporary error and
will bounce the mail all by itself after 5 days time.

But how?

you're supposed to buy several, and cluster them.

CVS HEAD has a new quota_full_tempmail setting for this. But since you
probably don't want to use CVS HEAD, your only choice is to modify the
sources:

src/deliver/deliver.c line 708-709:

		if (temporary_error)
			return EX_TEMPFAIL;

Change that to simply:

		return EX_TEMPFAIL;
