-Summary:
Presentation of sendmail error codes

Comment by xidus at xidus.net on Tue May  4 10:58:53 2004 (today):
Even worse, in the case of EX_NOUSER, the user is given the impression that
the mail was sent to NONE of the intended recipients.  However, if the mail
was addressed to multiple recipients, it has been successfully sent to the
extant recipients.  This easily leads to users clicking "send" multiple
times to try to clear the error, sending multiple copies to the recipients
that DO exist.

Handling in this case, with multiple recipients and one or more unknown to
local sendmail, is very poor.  IMP should fail to send the message
completely AND report the unknown addresses (reported by sendmail on
stderr).
