A warning like this should go anywhere setting EXITCODE is discussed. I
wasted a lot of time myself when one of my users started doing that,
until I realized that those messages were SUPPOSED to bounce!
The worst part is that I knew he was experimenting with some procmail
UCE filters, and I even looked at (but did not SEE) his procmail
configuration. And yes I felt very stupid :(
