Not so - Apache is a mature production web server, Zope is an
application server that serves over HTTP, but it's HTTP server is *not*
designed for production use.

You may think so, but they are the supported, documented solution: -

That is because Zope is an application server, not a web server.

I simply don't understand that. It's off topic, but here goes: -

My domain is "xfr.co.uk", and I have a mail host called "smtp" (because
that is what it serves). So, the token "yourMailHost" refers to the mail
host name and the "yourDomain" refers to the domain name, so to send me
mail, you make an SMTP connection to "smtp.xfr.co.uk".

What's the problem?
