I am attempting to send mail ( using Zope 2.5.1 on Win2000) from python using the following code found at Zopelab.com:
mailhost=getattr(context, context.superValues('Mail Host')[0].id) mailhost.send('Test', 'root@coursesbywire.com', 'root@coursesbywire.com', 'Test')
Using DTML sendmail tag seems to work without a hitch but the mail server rejects the Python script generated email with the following error info:
Reason: Message headers exceed xxx bytes. Headers are probably not formed correctly.
You may want to use this instead: mailhost=context.superValues('Mail Host')[0] mailhost.send('Subject: Test\n\nTest', 'root@coursesbywire.com', 'root@coursesbywire.com') ..or even... mailhost=context.superValues('Mail Host')[0] mailhost.send('''\ From: root@coursesbywire.com To: root@coursesbywire.com Subject: Test Test''') The 'send' method tries to read header lines from the body text, and may be responsible for your error message. The 'getattr(...' indirection is pointless, as far as I can tell. Cheers, Evan @ 4-am
