[Zope] Help: Mailhost

[Tim Hawes]

I found the problem. One is that I did not have the MailHost HotFix 
installed properly. I had overwritten the MailHost/__init__.py with the 
__init__.py that came with the hotfix. (I had enough sense to copy the 
original __init__.py somewhere else before overwriting). The other thing 
I had not realized is that when I was dynamically filling in the To: and 
From: fields from ZopeLDAP methods, a trailing \r\n was appended to the 
values returned. This resulted in other error ("No 'From' field in smtp 
header").

I had actually written a python script to bypass the errors I was 
getting from dtml, before I realized what was going on. MailHost seemed 
a lot more forgiving to python than to dtml (my python script still 
worked, even though it called a MailHost object and MailHost was broken).
