Re: traceback in my tmdadebug, not to sure what to look for...

What I think happened is this:

I get mail ocasionally that has a whole bunch of people in the "to" 
address.  I cut the list of addresses out of the to address directly 
from an email.

I then went into tmda-cgi and pasted the address list into the 
whitelist.  The address list that I pasted was a space delimited list 
of email addresses.  While still in the dialog for tmda-cgi address 
lists I then went through the list deleting spaces and making (I 
thought) each address be on a separate line in the dialog.  Well, they 
may have been on individual lines in the dialog but when I went to look 
in the actual whitelist file (NOT the CDB) many of the addresses were 
still on the same line.  In that case I can see how a parser might have 
thought that I had actions.

Sometime in the next four hours or so, I'll see if I get new stack traces.

What is still interesting to me is: what operation is happening every 
four hours that provokes the fault?
