Well, assuming you're using someone's hack of /bin/mail to do your local
mail delivery (most sendmails do):
#define E_FLGE 1 /* flge error */
#define E_FILE 2 /* file error */
#define E_SPACE 3 /* no space */
#define E_FRWD 4 /* cannot forward */
#define E_SYNTAX 5 /* syntax error */
#define E_FRWL 6 /* forwarding loop */
#define E_SNDR 7 /* invalid sender */
#define E_USER 8 /* invalid user */
#define E_FROM 9 /* too many From lines */
#define E_PERM 10 /* bad permissions */
#define E_MBOX 11 /* mbox problem */
#define E_TMP 12 /* temporary file problem */
#define E_DEAD 13 /* Cannot create dead.letter */
#define E_UNBND 14 /* Unbounded forwarding */
#define E_LOCK 15 /* cannot create lock file */
#define E_GROUP 16 /* no group id of 'mail' */
#define E_MEM 17 /* malloc failure */
#define E_FORK 18 /* could not fork */
#define E_PIPE 19 /* could not pipe */
#define E_OWNR 20 /* invoker does not own mailfile */
#define E_SMAIL 21 /* can't call sendmail */
This _might_ be of help (unfortunately, so many vendors brain-damage
the vanilla /bin/mail because they want to add their own vendor-specific
bugs/features.... 90% of the time, though, this list is pretty well on the
mark.
