Products.MailHost

=================

The MailHost product provides support for sending email from within the Zope

environment using MailHost objects.

An optional character set can be specified to automatically encode unicode

input, and perform appropriate RFC 2822 header and body encoding for the

specified character set. Full python email.Message.Message objects may be sent.

Email can optionally be encoded using Base64 or Quoted-Printable encoding

(though automatic body encoding will be applied if a character set is

specified).

Usage

-----

MailHost provides integration with the Zope transaction system and optional

support for asynchronous mail delivery. Asynchronous mail delivery is

implemented using a queue and a dedicated thread processing the queue. The

thread is (re)-started automatically when sending an email. The thread can be

started manually (in case of restart) by calling its

manage_restartQueueThread?action=start method through HTTP. There is currently

no possibility to start the thread at Zope startup time.

Supports TLS/SSL encryption (requires Python compiled with SSL support).

Configuration

-------------

To force MailHost to only queue mails without sending them, activate queuing

in the ZMI and set the environment variable ``MAILHOST_QUEUE_ONLY=1``.

This could be helpful in a staging environment where mails should not be sent.
