I think plain mailhosts will do the sending thing quite well, they handle mail sending using an external mail server :-)
True, they do use an external server. But can they handle a really large volume of mail? I seem to remember getting an error just sending about 35 messages a month ago, but I could have something misconfigured...
Good point. On the other hand, if you have a volume like this, you probably already have a mailing list and server of some sort. Zope just needs to send one message to the list server... Yeah, this is a kludge. So was my suggestion to use cron and xmlrpc. The perfect solution involves a mailing list server integrated with Zope, e.g. ZMailman. This would probably also provide mailing list archives integrated with Zope and ZCatalog and easy integration of mailing list and PTK/Squishdot discussion traffic. This has been talked about before. IMHO, a *lot* of people would like to see it, including some of the Mailman developers, but no one has the time to do it.
