What value do you all use for the e option, and why?
My understanding is that the choices are:
	p	print
	q	?
	m	mail back errors and exit(0)
	w	write back errors
	e	just exit(0)

First, are these the only choices?  And exactly what do they mean?  Why
would I want sendmail to exit(0) rather than with a non-zero exit value?
Why would I want to just exit rather than either mailing or writing back
errors?

Basically, I just want help making this decision.  I don't understand all
the choices and the ramifications of the choices.

Thanks in advance.
