  What it means is when you press "release" button in TMDA-CGI, the message 
is being moved to the very bottom of the screen under the list of pending 
e-mails and the following message:

      Note: Marked messages are being processed by the mail server. They
 will be removed from the pending list when relea ...

What I have figured out is if I just reload pending list then this message 
continue to stay, but if I relogin then it goes away, but the message that 
is supposed to be released comes back to the "Pending" list and is not 
forwarded to my Inbox.

I have checked my config and because MAIL_TRANSPORT was not set in my config 
file, so it used sendmail by default.

I have added two more lines into the .tmda/config file to define it. So my 
config file now looks like this:


LOGFILE_INCOMING = 
"/home/vpopmail/domains/domain.com/user/.tmda/logs/tmda.in"
LOGFILE_DEBUG = 
"/home/vpopmail/domains/domain.com/user/.tmda/logs/tmda.debug"

SENDER_TEMPLATE_VARS=1
BOUNCE_ENV_SENDER="[email protected]"

User is getting a lot of junk. Increase cache
PENDING_CACHE_LEN = 17500

#Append addresses from unconfirmed addresses to blacklist
PENDING_DELETE_APPEND = 
"/home/vpopmail/domains/domain.com/user/.tmda/lists/blacklist"

# Hold unconfirmed messages for 14 days only (default 14 days)
PENDING_LIFETIME = "14d"

RECIPIENT_HEADER = 'x-originally-to'

MAIL_TRANSPORT = "sendmail"
SENDMAIL_PROGRAM = '/usr/sbin/sendmail'


What is the way to debug what happens when TMDA tries to use sendmail to 
forward released e-mail? Can I see the error message if it does not work?

my .tmda/logs/tmda.debug is always empty.


My sendmail seems to be in right place too:

host# whereis sendmail
sendmail: /usr/sbin/sendmail
