Exim sends back a delivery failure message eventhough a ticket is added
succesfully using mail-filter.php.  The failure message is generated because
mail-filter.php generates the following warnings:
------------------
PHP Notice:  Only variable references should be returned by reference in
/usr/local/www/helpdesk/whups/lib/Mail.php on line 102
PHP Notice:  Undefined index:  name in
/usr/local/www/helpdesk/whups/lib/Driver/sql.php on line 924
------------------

Exim's default behaviour for pipe delivery (return_output) is to generate a
failure message if the command produces any output, irrespective of the
return code/status.
Ref: http://www.exim.org/exim-html-3.20/doc/html/spec_18.html#SEC502

I have fixed this locally by setting return_fail_output for the pipe
transport.

I'd submit a patch if I knew how to eliminate those warnings (errors?).

Thanks.
