MailHost is only used to send mail, primarily with the <dtml-sendmail
tag>. My suggestion to you would be to create a ZClass called
MailMessage or something similar (you could inherit from XMLDocument or
DTMLDocument) to store the mail messages in ZODB and then use a python script
invoked via .procmailrc to actually upload the messages to Zope. I've
attached a python script I've got that uploads a directory of JPEGs as
Photo objects. You might find it useful as an example.

If you are still interested in using <dtml-sendmail>, I've submitted a patch
to Digital Creations that cleans up the MailHost code considerably. It should 
be in the next release of Zope, but if you are having trouble with the
tag, I'd be glad to send you a copy of the patch.
