MaildropHost uses an external process to check on a specific "spool" 
directory in the file system and the MailHost object inside the ZODB 
just formats the messages it receives into the correct file format and 
drops them there. there is no notion about transaction, unless failed 
transactions would actually go and *erase* an already-written spool 
file, which i doubt ;)
