As zope.sendmail commits in tpc_finish, there is no additional issue using it with zope.sqlalchemy in 1pc than with a 2pc data manager. If it fails you will end up in an inconsistent state whatever. It's just that with the maildir implementation, it pretty much can't fail as it is only a rename and that should always succeed. Really, it should register as an after commit hook instead. When an after commit hook fails, the error is caught, logged, and then it continues.
