[Zope-Annce] TransactionMailHost 0.1.1 released

[Andreas Jung]

I am pleased to announce the first release of TransactionalMailHost.

TransactionalMailHost can be downloaded from


<ftp://ftp.zopyx.com/open-source/TransactionalMailHost/TransactionMailHost-0.1.1.tar.gz>

What is TransactionalMailHost
=============================

TransactionalMailHost is yet another MailHost implementation.  It integrates
with the transaction system of Zope in order to send out email  only in 
case of a committed transaction. TMH currently supports standard SMTP and 
SMTP AUTH.


Requirements
============

- Zope 2.9+
- zope.sendmail


Installation
============

- Unpack the archive in your *Products* directory
- restart Zope
- create a new **TransactionMailHost** instance through the ZMI
- configure your SMTP host, port within the ZMI.
  username and password are optional for SMTP AUTH


Note
====

TransactionMailHost is not fully (yet) API compatible with the Zope MailHost
implementation. It provides only one public method right now:

   send(message, fromaddr, toaddrs, subject, encode)

   The 'subject' and 'encode' parameters are unused right now


How does it compare to MailDropHost
===================================

MDH decouples the process of sending mail from its delivery.  Like all other
MailHost implementations TransactionalMailHost blocks the current Zope 
thread
until the end of delivery. This can be a big disadvantage when you send out
email to multiple addresses. If you run a site producing lots of email you
might better checkout MailDropHost.
