Testing for error messages

The condition "error_message" is true if the incoming message is a mail delivery error message. Putting the command

if error_message then finish endif

at the head of your filter file is a useful insurance against things going wrong in such a way that you cannot receive delivery error reports, and is highly recommended. Note that `error_message' is a condition, not an expansion variable, and therefore is not preceded by `$'.
