Alan,
Read the thread again. There is no window of LOSS for Maxime. There is a
window within which to PREVENT loss, there is the remote possibility of a
duplicate transaction.

In point of fact, if the database is unavailable when the handler receives
e-mail from the sender, it will return an error to the sender. I have had
this occur, as has Danny in his testing.
Once a message is in the spool it is not removed until it has been
successfully transfered again. If the mail could not be delivered to a
mailbox because of a database server failure, it should remain in the spool
or be moved to the error respository. I'd have to check that part of the
pipeline's error handling. At the moment, I'd recommend that the error
repository use the file:// protocol.
