It take the attribute value (without evaluation) as host name.

If you really need, you may extend "sendmail":

  The usual proceedure would be to provide an additional
  attribute "smtphost_expr" that behaves exactly like
  "smtphost" but expects a Python expression as attribute
  value, evaluates it and the uses it as "smtphost" would
  do, if it got this attribute.

  The attributes of "dtml-mime" have been extended along this
  line. You may look at them on how to implement it.
