Hi Zopers In my experience, it's tricky to send mail from Python Scripts. Here's how I'm doing it at the moment. 1. Have a DTML method which does the mailing. This method should have the 'Manager' proxy role (or a role which is allowed to access your 'MailHost'). 'mailMessage':: <dtml-try> <dtml-sendmail ...> text text text </dtml-sendmail> </dtml-try> 2. Have a Python script which calls 'mailMessage'. 'mailMessages':: # Lots of intricate logic which would be painful in DTML ... for this in these: container.mailMessage( container , REQUEST, _ , address=this.address ) Note that 'mailMessage' is unhappy if it is called without DTML namespace (? check this) and 'REQUEST'. 3. Now, unfortunately, the 'mailMessages' Python script won't have a 'REQUEST' of its own. In order to get hold of a 'REQUEST', wrap the Python script in another DTML method, and see to it that 'REQUEST' is included in the list of parameters for 'mailMessages'. 'mailMessagesWrapper':: <dtml-call mailMessages> I'm pretty sure this will trigger lots of good advice on what I could be doing better .. that would be most welcome. Regards, Jean
