[Zope] sendmail problem or issue?

[Tom Cameron]

Tim,
I noted that in your earlier message you said this:

=> By changing the security on the
=> mailhost object (same as the proxy change you suggested)....

It is my understanding that this is not the best way to handle this. The
permissions on the mailhost object are set to "Manager only" for security
reasons and in most cases should not be changed.

It is far better to change the proxy setting on the objects that call the
mailhost. This way you do not compromise your system security.

BTW, I would guess that the error you are now experiencing is purely a
sendmail thing and will require changes at the sendmail end.
