There's no formal list. It's a string intended to give a hint to a
human; it's the same sort of thing that pops up in the logfiles.

Tracing the code for all possible writes into an addr->message field
would be needed to answer your question (plus one hardcoded
"message removed by %s", username
)

What I want to do is to track a particular error (AUTH used when not
advertised), in a cleaner way than scanning the log. My impression was
this was just the kind of thing events were meant for. Was I wrong?

Yes and no. Event call-points get get added when someone finds a
use for one. Your point of interest doesn't have one yet -
and it probably would go in the msg: group either, being independent
of a specific message; more associated with the SMTP connection.

Yes in that it lets you write code to do something special when one
of them fires.
