Is there a document that explains the reasoning for
error (return) codes?
currently (from spfquery):
[snip]
I know of no documenation on these return codes, or why they were
chosen.
Since the return codes appear to be completely arbitrary, I have
changed the perl spfquery code to return the same numbers as the
libspf-alt spfquery code returns. This perl spfquery will be released
as part of the SPF implemenation test system that I'm working on, but
I have no idea if anyone will use this test system, or the modified
spfquery programs contained within.
The spfquery program found in the most recent M:S:Q cpan package does
not contain the updates I sent Meng over a month ago. I do not know
if this is because Meng hasn't had time to encorporate the changes, if
Meng over looked it, or if Meng does not intend to use spfquery
programs from the test suite.
I wouldn't recommend using the perl spfquery program for anything
serious anyway, since the startup overhead of perl is so high.
