try checking the security settings of mailhost, I had this problem and I unchecked aquire permissions and set them manually (for 'use mailhost services'). dj On Wed, 1 Aug 2001 complaw@hal-pc.org wrote:

I picked up the following code from runyaga via the ZopeLabs site:

try: mailhost=getattr(context, context.SuperValues('Mail Host')[0].id) except: raise AttributeError, "Cannot find a Mail Host object."

mMsg = 'A test e-mail message \n that contains a few line breaks. \n ~rlc' mTo = 'docket.clerk@bakerbotts.com' mFrom = 'docket.clerk@bakerbotts.com' mSubj = 'Mail Host Test'

mailhost.send(mMsg, mTo, mFrom, mSubj)

--------------

I put a Mail Host object in the same folder as the above python script. Tried it and got the exception. runyaga said to have the Mail Host object below the script, so I put it in a folder object lower in the hierarchy. Still got the exception. Then I put the Mail Host object in the root folder. Still got the exception.

Clearly I am not the Hostess with the mostest. Does anyone know where I should place my Mail Host so that I don't throw the exception?

Incidentally, I have the option to hardwire the mail host directly into the code (its not going anywhere). the id for the Mail Host in question is mailhost.

TIA,

Ron

try: mailhost=getattr(context, context.SuperValues('Mail Host')[0].id) except: raise AttributeError, "Cannot find a Mail Host object." Perhaps you get an AttributeError on SuperValues()

Isn't it: superValues() ?? ...if it makes a difference at all. Besides, superValues() returns a sequence of objects ordered in how close they are to 'context', so you can: mailhost = context.superValues('Mail Host')[0] rm the try: for a moment and paste the error and traceback next time. Peter
