It's not as easy as that, though. Mailhost misconfiguration is just one reason why errors may be raised during the actual sending. The receiver address may be wrong, which is where I tend to see it. This is not a condition I could reasonably test for in my code before attempting to send though the MailHost. jens -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (Darwin) iEYEARECAAYFAkwjDWUACgkQRAx5nvEhZLKf9ACgjfp7Nxf5B+2BwT6Egp6mhuVV yGIAoKhuD8sEGT+mn6NcbTvqlWxduYsi =LIL8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - [email protected] https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
