Sorry, your ideas don't work either. This time I get a NameError for mhost in the following code in SendMailtag.py. mhost is never being created. if self.mailhost: mhost=md[self.mailhost] elif self.smtphost: mhost=MailBase() mhost._init(localHost=gethostname(), smtpHost=self.smtphost, smtpPort=self.port) mhost.send(self.section(md.this, md), self.mailto, self.mailfrom, self.subject) -- Robin Dunn robin@AllDunn.com http://AllDunn.com/robin/ http://AllDunn.com/wxPython/ Check it out!

For example, Zope doesn't like this:

<!--#sendmail smtphost=<!--#var smtpHost--> -->

or this:

<!--#sendmail smtphost=smtpHost-->

(it tries to use smtpHost as the host name, instead of its value)

Try:

<!--#sendmail "smtphost=smtpHost"-->

or this:

<!--#sendmail "smtphost=_['smtpHost']"-->
