=head1 DIAGNOSTICS
=over 4
=item Warning: Avoid program abuse: specify an absolute path for $exec.
Specifying explicit locations for executables of email transfer agents
should only be done with absolute file names, to avoid various pontential
security problems.
=item Warning: Executable $exec does not exist.
The explicitly indicated mail transfer agent does not exists. The normal
settings are used to find the correct location.
=item Error: Package $package does not implement $method.
Fatal error: the specific package (or one of its superclasses) does not
implement this method where it should. This message means that some other
related classes do implement this method however the class at hand does
not. Probably you should investigate this and probably inform the author
of the package.
