Debug

Known issues

breakingVersion 6.0 removed Python 2 support and requires Python >=3.10.

fix

Upgrade Python to >=3.10 and ensure any custom extensions are compatible.

affects: >=6.0

breakingThe old 'MailHost' class from 'Products.MailHost' (direct import) no longer works; import from 'Products.MailHost.MailHost'.

fix

Change import statement to 'from Products.MailHost.MailHost import MailHost'.

affects: >=4.0

gotchaMailHost does not automatically set up SMTP connection; requires explicit configuration of smtp_host, smtp_port, etc.

fix

Set attributes like mailhost.smtp_host = 'your-smtp-server' before sending mail.

affects: all

deprecatedThe 'MailHost' class now delegates to 'zope.sendmail'; direct manipulation of the mail queue may change.

fix

Use zope.sendmail APIs for advanced queuing.

affects: >=6.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'Products.MailHost'

Set smtp_host and smtp_port before using the MailHost instance.
