mailpost exits with status 0 on error

[Julien ÉLIE]

Hi,

I do not know the reason mailpost has to exit with status 0 upon an error.
Have you ever heard about that?
An old problem which is now fixed?
[The code has been the same since its inclusion in INN, in 1998.]

I suggest we exit with an error code (in INN 2.5.0, not 2.4.6).
Any complaints?

Julien
