Because it has no security declarations. If you bothered to install 
VerboseSecurity it would have told you this...

MailHosts are how you send mail in Zope...

MailTemplates are what you want to use, I still don't understand why 
you're having so many problems, I simply cannot reproduce what you're 
seeing...

Start with a fresh, clean Zope instance and tell me the steps you go 
(every single one of them!) through to get to the point where you can 
try the python script and get the errors you were complaining about 
before...

cheers,

Chris
