Well, yes, there is a solution -- one which I have used for
ages but apparenly have not documented ? (Requires my version
of the scheduler, which you have..)
After all, it is "just" a question of picking proper
boiler-plate text...
Add into $MAILSHARE/scheduler.conf on the "default" entry
"*/*" a:
deliveryform=delivery
and on your LOCAL entries ("local/*", "smtp/*.local.domain", ..)
deliveryform=deliverylocal
Generalizing this into multiple kinds of "delivery errors"
per target system should be obvious (and trivial).
Rest of it is perhaps best explained by this diff:
