This option makes pipelines return as status the value of the last (rightmost)
command to exit with a non-zero status, or zero if all commands exit
successfully. See bash(1) for details.

E.g. this prevents the following from exiting with status 0 (!) if pg_dumpall
fails:

        pg_dumpall | gzip

reportspace: skip non-directories and places that don't exist on the local filesystem (Closes: #536049)

Thanks to Ian Beckwith <ianb@erislabs.net> for the patch.

updated the example.maildir to include this option, as well as detail the missing desid_file, destport

The modelines added match the emacs lines already present and also set
the filetype to sh (just like the emacs lines).

Previously, there were many indentation styles in use: Real tabs, 2, 3
or 4 spaces, mixing these within the same file, function or even within
a single line.

This commit changes all bash scripts in the handlers, src and lib dirs
to use consistent indentation: three spaces are now used everywhere.
Other files (e.g. Makefiles) are left untouched.

Additionally, this commit removes all trailing whitespace.
