Bug Description
While setting up the demo.launchpad.net outgoing email, I ran into a problem exposed by the outgoing whitelist we've got running.
The whitelist currently rejects the message immediately when the script tries to send the email. The exception is not handled, and no further emails get sent.
I've opened an RT ticket to see if the whitelist behaviour can be changed to drop said emails without error, but we might want to address the problem anyway, to make sure that things get handled properly if mail ever gets rejected in production.

Yeah, we should handle it. Can you paste the traceback here?
