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, Quoted-Printable or UUEncode encoding (though
automatic body encoding will be applied if a character set is specified).
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).
