[Zope] Iterating inside Sendmail

[Tino Wildenhain]

Hi Michael,

just drop DTML for this too and use
Mailhost.send() instead. If you have a recent
Zope, it strips BCC automatically and you only have
to provide it with mailtxt, which is mailheader + 1 free line +
mailbody.
Minimal mailheader is
To: Person <person@target.com>
From: Person <person@source.com>
Subject: what to say...

The simplest way to do this in a loop is to use a Python long string:

msg="""To: %(to)s
From: %(from)s
Subject: Your subject

Hi there,
foobar...
""".replace('\n','\r\n')

The replace stepp changes the line endings from single newline (Unix, 
python) to
carriage-return + newline, which is for rfc822 complience.

all_addresses=[{'to':'Person1 <person1@person1.com>,'from':'Me 
<myself@me.com>'},
               {'to':'Person2 <person2@person2.com>,'from':'Me 
<myself@me.com>'},
               {'to':'Person1 <person3@person3.com>,'from':'Me 
<myself@me.com>'}]

for target in all_addresses:
   Mailhost.send(msg % target)

This is untested, but schould give you a starting point.

Does this help?

Regards
