This looks like a wrong "dtml-sendmail" format:
  the closing '>' of dtml-sendmail comes before "Subject",
  the empty line separating the message header from the
  body is missing.

Try:

<dtml-sendmail
mailhost="MailHost3"
mailto="vikas <suhail@morelinux.com>"
mailfrom="suhail <suhail@morelinux.com>"
subject="<A new Snippet has been added to ZDP !>">

COMMENT: Note the empty line above !!!
Dear Rik !
...
</dtml-sendmail>

Apparently, "dtml-sendmail" does not create "To" and "From" headers
from the "mailto" and "mailfrom" arguments.

Thus, you should provide them as headers.

Somehow, your SMTP server is unhappy about the request.
As both your "To" and "From" contain domain names, only
"hostname" is a bit doubtfull. But there should be no
domain name necessary for it.

When I checked the "dtml-sendmail" on Zope 2.2.1, I
have been successful with:

<dtml-sendmail mailhost=MailHost>
To: dieter@localhost
From: dieter@localhost
Subject: A test

Hello
</dtml-sendmail>


Similar problems have come up some weeks ago in the mailing
list. Search the (searchable) list archive. Maybe, you
can contact the person with this problem and check whether
he was able to solve it.
