To cause sendmail to re-queue a piece of mail, the Mmailer called
should exit(EX_TEMPFAIL).  From <sysexits.h>:

**      EX_TEMPFAIL -- temporary failure, indicating something that
**              is not really an error.  In sendmail, this means
**              that a mailer (e.g.) could not create a connection,
**              and the request should be reattempted later.
