Heh, I found the problem: The MailHost instance should not be called "MailHost" ! As soon as I renamed it, everything started working OK ... I'll file this as a bug if it's not done already ... J.F. -----Original Message----- From: zope-bounces@zope.org [mailto:zope-bounces@zope.org]On Behalf Of Jean-Francois.Doyon@CCRS.NRCan.gc.ca Sent: Tuesday, March 23, 2004 11:17 AM To: zope@zope.org Subject: [Zope] Strange MailHost/smtplib problem ... Hello, I'm using 2.7/2.3.3 on RH7.3 ... I have a previous version of my site on 2.6.4/2.1.3 on the same server running fine as well. The MailHost on the old one works fine, using a DTML document and the <dtml-sendmail> tag ... On 2.7 however, I keep getting a "111, Connection Refused", with the EXACT same setup. Using tcpdump I've tracked it down to the fact that under 2.7, even though I have a valid SMTP server and port specified, smtplib seems to insist on using localhost for the outgoing connection, and for the SMTP server (i.e. it tries to connect local to local, which isn't at all what I want or specified). Under 2.6.4, it works fine, the SMTP packet traffic shows up on the expected interfaces and the mail gets out fine. A quick look at the MailHost.py code doesn't bring up any obvious problems ... Anybody else run into anything like this ?
