[Zope] MailHost and Bcc

11 Jul 2007

      Good morning!

My web site utilizes forms pretty extensively, and I've been trying to
figure out how--on one particular form, an admission application--to bcc all
copies to another address.  Depending on which campus the applicant chooses,
the app is emailed to a different person; the program director wants to
receive ALL the apps, without the other recipients knowing.  But I just
can't seem to make it work.  Of course, that might have something to do with
the fact that I'm not a programmer, which is why I'm asking for help.  Any
suggestions would be greatly appreciated!  The coding looks like this:

# Example code:

# Import a standard function, and get the HTML request and response objects.
from Products.PythonScripts.standard import html_quote
request = container.REQUEST
RESPONSE =  request.RESPONSE

try:
    mailhost=getattr(context, context.superValues('Mail Host')[0].id)
except:
    raise AttributeError, "cant find a Mail Host object"

contacts = {
    'Bay Minette': 'email1@huntingdon.edu',
    'Center Point': 'email2@huntingdon.edu',
    'Pell City': 'email2@huntingdon.edu',
    'Shelby': 'email2@huntingdon.edu',
    'Enterprise': 'email3@huntingdon.edu',
    'Daphne': 'email1@huntingdon.edu',
    'Montgomery': 'email4@huntingdon.edu'
}

if request.has_key('campus'):
    mTo = contacts[request['campus']]
else:

if request.has_key('email') and request.has_key('first_name') and
request.has_key('last_name'):
    if request['email'] != '' and request['first_name'] != '' and
