EXITCODE = 4294967295, TEMPFAIL =

Now from another mailinglist I found out that 4294967295 == 0xffffffff == (unsigned int) -1

Question: What does this mean? / Where to look for the error?

It's your script, only you can figure out why it breaks.

The only thing that you need to know that's not immediately obvious is that your script must read the entire message it receives piped in on standard input. If maildrop detects that the script terminated before it consumed everything, it will - rightfully - conclude that the mail delivery script failed.
