HI all I am working on MandrakeLinux8.2,Zope2.5.1, I am trying to use this example from ZOPELABS to send a mail .When I use this ,IF I am logged into the ZMI i am able to send mails.But if I am trying to access this same script from an application that I have built in Zope then the following Error (UNAUTHORIZED) is thrown after asking for logging into the ZMI.Bu then my applicatin is not actually logging in Users to Zope since all the back end USers validation is done with the RDBMS i am using(Postgres) tables.I am facing thi same Problem when I am using SQUISHDOT when i try to send a reply to a Forum message the application asks me to Log in.But the user is already logged in with cvalidation done frm Postgres.How should I go about resolving this issue?I want to add folders and upload Files and Images ,Use Squishdot and use SendMail form my application but I am not actually logged into Zope (I am logged into my application).But since these users do not exist in acl_users in Zpoe it is not allowing me to access any ofthese.Please guide me as to how I can go about this problem and get all these done. try: mailhost=getattr(context, context.superValues('Mail Host')[0].id) except: raise AttributeError, "cant find a Mail Host object" mMsg = 'a testful email message \n that contains a few line breaks. \n ~runyaga' mTo = 'runyaga@abc.com' mFrom = 'runyaga@xyz.com' mSubj = 'mail subject' mailhost.send(mMsg, mTo, mFrom, mSubj) ==================================================== Zope Error Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource.
