The "transaction" here is the normal Zope / ZODB transaction, which
ensures that writes to the ZODB (and any transaction-aware RDBMS) are
aborted if the request raises an exception.  The "transaction-aware"
feature of MaildropHost is that it holds off sending the e-mail until
the transaction is committed, which ensures that you don't get a
premature e-mail (in the case that the transaction is aborted), or a
repeated one (if the request is retried due to ConflictError).
