All programs exit with an "exit code", a numeric value that can be
used to indicate if everything went OK (generally, 0) or if something
went wrong (some non-zero value).
Checking what it was depends on your shell.
In Bourne and Korn, it's the variable $?. (echo $?)
In CSH, it's $status. (echo $?)
Check your local manpages, as YMMV.
To set it, it's usually a function like "exit(1);" in Perl, to exit
with code 1.
What it looks like to me is the autoresponder is returning non-zero,
so then the program that called it is interpreting that (rightly) as
an error condition, so it's bombing out. You'll need to look at
the code for the autoresponder to determine where and why it's
returning that non-zero value, and fix it.
Hope that helps some...

I'm sure to the advanced user I'm going to look rather stupid asking this
but here goes...
What does "does not exit with a zero exit code" mean?
And how would I check this?

I'm not the one thats the most familiar just the one that decided to
join
the lists to learn more as problems on the list rise and the cures for
them.
So any assistance on how to cure this would be greatly appreciated!
There's nothing to assist with. Find out what the autoresponder is doing,
and why it is not terminating with a zero exit code.
