The 'Status' field summarize what happens with an email. {pmg} is a
mail proxy, meaning that the proxy receives mails from outside,
process it and finally sends the result to the receiver.
The first phase is receiving the mail. The proxy may reject the mail
early, or instead accepts the mail and feeds it into the filter. The filter
rules can block or accept the mail.
In the second phase, accepted mails need to be delivered to the
receiver, and this action may also fail or succeed. The status
combines the result from the first and second phase:
