mailinglist; subscribe by sending mail to qpsmtpd-subscribe@perl.org.
=head1 General return codes
Each plugin must return an allowed constant for the hook and (usually)
optionally a "message".
Generally all plugins for a hook are processed until one returns
something other than "DECLINED".
Plugins are run in the order they are listed in the "plugins"
configuration.
=over 4
=item OK
Action allowed
=item DENY
Action denied
=item DENYSOFT
Action denied; return a temporary rejection code (say 450 instead of 550).
=item DECLINED
Plugin declined work; proceed as usual. This return code is always
allowed unless noted otherwise.
=item DONE
Finishing processing of the request. Usually used when the plugin
sent the response to the client.
=back
See more detailed description for each hook below.
