[Bug 5106] New: multiple hosts with -d switch doesn't work when -x is also used

http://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=5106

           Summary: multiple hosts with -d switch doesn't work when -x is
                    also used
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: spamc/spamd
        AssignedTo: dev@spamassassin.apache.org
        ReportedBy: marc@perkel.com


The specs say that if you use spamc with multiple hosts then if the first host
fails it will try the other hosts. It does do this. But if you user the -x
switch then it only tries the first host.

spamc -d host1,host2  ----- works

spamc -x -d host1,host2  ----- does not work

But what -x is supposed to do is not let spamc pass the message through 
unchecked. It is supposed to check all the hosts and then fail if it 
can't process it. The -x switch is not supposed to keep the -d switch 
from using all listed hosts.

Sounds right to me.  -x disables spamc covering your ass.  Try host1, if the
exit code indicates that host1 didn't scan it try host2 yourself.  For the next
message (and for some amount of time) don't even bother with host1 and skip
right to host2 first.
