Hi Tino, How far are you, and are you working on a permanent solution, or a temporary solution? I have edited MailHost to accept user name and password and I feel it is quite a complete update that should work fine. I have updated both the update and add ZMI interfaces. The smtplib.py that I am using is another story. It's a hack between the new smtplib of Python 2.2 (with SMTP authentication) and the one bundled with Zope (there are some issues with the socket module in Zope and the new smtplib). In addition, it contains a hack to make it work with our MS Exchange server (they are working on a Patch and I have grabbed some code from the latest patch diff, but not all of it - just to make it work with our Exchange!). I don't feel this is a great problem, because once the new smtplib.py (and Python2.2) is bundled with Zope, everything should work smoothly (my Mail Host is not dependant on my specific hacked smtplib.py, only a authentication-aware smtplib.py such as the one bundled with Python2.2) So, in short, it works for my system and I am prepared to share it with whoever is interested, but give no guarantees whatsoever on it's performance. If your solution is a more complete one and is near to completion, let me know and I will refrain from "launching" this one. On the other hand, if you are still some ways off then I can launch mine as a temporary solution as it seems there are quite a few people with SMTP authentication hassles. Let me know if you are interested in looking at my version and I'll send it to you. Regards Etienne --------------- Hi Etienne, --On Dienstag, 26.

Hi there,
Is anyone working on an Authenticating MailHost that will allow SMTP authentication (new smtplib that comes with Python 2.2 provides this functionality)?

Yes, I am. But I dont know if there are any more available yet.
