[Zope] sendmail problem or issue?

[Tino Wildenhain]

Hi Tim,

in your internal tests - did you try to write a mail
to outside recipients? May be your zope-server is
not fully trusted by the smtp-host and accepts only
in-house recipients (this is allowed for all unknown
senders in almost every configuration)

Regards
Tino
