note 26004 deleted from function.exit by nlopess

Note Submitter: webcat@NOcyber-catsSPAM.com ---- To add to the last comment, I was also piping to a php script via an email alias file and was using exit(); to send an exit code to qmail (rather than sendmail as in the last comment). In my case, I was using the php script to filter for spam before it was delivered to my Mailbox file, so I wanted the emails that failed the filtering to die, and the others to be delivered to my Mailbox file. I found if you are using qmail, you can use exit(99); to silently kill the message and stop qmail from bouncing the message. (exit(99); basically tells qmail-local that the delivery was successful and it is to ignore any further delivery instructions.) On the other hand, to have it deliver the email to you, you should use exit(0); which tells qmail-local it was a successful delivery and will cause qmail to go to the next command in the .qmail file and execute it ... in my case, the next command was simply to deliver the message to my Mailbox file.
