TDMA seems to hurt innocent outsiders by sending them mail (e.g., in
response to garbage sent by viruses or spammers). The other examples you
gave (Emacs, Gnome, CUPS) don't do that, as far as I know. The
difference is important, I think.
Whether TDMA's behavior is bad enough to warrant removal from Debian I
don't know. (It is an issue I find it hard to be objective about.)
