<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm using a mailhost on my site in order to be able
to send out emails.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>When a user registers into the site I want to
validate the email address given to confirm, as much as is possible with a not
too detailed function, that the address given is valid.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Reading through forums I've concluded that all I
need to do is to attempt to send a confirmation or test mail to the given
address, if an SMTPSenderRefused error is received then I can assumed that there
is something wrong with the mail addrees...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>the python script I'm using is simply:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>import smtplib<BR>try:<BR>
Anvil_Page.MailHost.send("This is a test", <A
href="mailto:'ruth@ffff.com'">'ruth@ffff.com'</A>)<BR>except
smtplib.SMTPSenderRefused:<BR>
get_transaction().abort()<BR> return "Invalid email address:
please press your browser's='back' key and correct
it"<BR>else:<BR> return 0</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The only problem is that when I try to test this
script the zope login screen comes up and regardless what passwords and logins I
try to enter, including the admin one, I end up with the error:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>"You are not allowed to access SMTPSenderRefused in
this context"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any idea what I've got
wrong?</DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
