The issue I am having though is that the message is NOT being deleted. It is being released.
When you release a message from the queue, it is not removed from the pending queue, rather a copy of the message is delivered to your inbox, and the original message in your pending queue is tagged is such a way that TMDA know that it has been released. Then depending on the settings of your PENDING_CLEANUP_ODDS and PENDING_LIFETIME old messages get cleaned out of the queue and deleted. This includes unreleased and unconfirmed messages as well as messages that have been marked as released and messages that have been marked as confirmed. You can see this for yourself just by displaying the ~/.tmda/pending directory. You will notice files with the following form: xxxxxxxxxx.xxxx.msg - this is an unconfirmed/unreleased message xxxxxxxxxx.xxxx.msg:3,R - this is a message that was released xxxxxxxxxx.xxxx.msg:3,C - this is a message that was released by confirmation
It's the :3,R and :3,C messages that are ending up in your PENDING_DELETE_APPEND file when they are cleaned out of the pending queue.
Unfortunately the way TMDA is currently coded it's not differentiating between the tagged and untagged message files, and I agree it would make more intuitive sense to a general user if it would differentiate between them and only add sender addresses to the PENDING_DELETE_APPEND file if the messages being deleted were untagged.

Thanks Dave! Now this is a very helpful explanation to help me understand what is going on. It makes everything so much more clear.
Thanks again.
