Worked like a charm! It turns out I was handing it an invalid "from" email address. Which brings up another question -- is there a piece of code that will validate email addresses somewhere? Seems like it would be a common tool (I'll bet the spammers have it!). *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 11/24/01 at 11:10 AM Holger Hoffmann wrote:

Maybe there's a better way to do this.
How about this: can I use the Zope "MailHost" object from within
an
external method to send mail?
yes, the interface is described in the API Reference of the Zope Book:
http://www.zope.org/Members/michel/ZB/AppendixB.dtml
Use it like:
subject = "E-Mail Subject" mto = "zope@zope.org" mfrom = "hohoff@rz.uni-potsdam.de" message = """To: zope@zope.org
This is my E-Mail."""
self.NameOfMailHostObject.send(message, mto, mfrom, subject)
