Tim,
I executed the following test:
1) chmod 000 whitelist whitelist.db
2) sent e-mail from yahoo account to my tmda enabled account.
3) contents of debug:
Uncaught Python 2.1.1 Exception (Fri Jan 2 13:56:49 2004):

No entry in incoming.
Upon generating the error, I restored the permissions of the whitelist* files and
normal function resumed.
That message was sent on Friday. I have not received the message. It is not in
pending, and I never received a failure message on the yahoo account. Based on my
experience, this message is officially "lost."
Thanks,
Steve
