Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

Mailer

✓ from zope.sendmail.mailer import SMTPMailer

✗ from zope.sendmail import SMTPMailer

Direct import from top-level package fails; use full path.

QueueMailDelivery

✓ from zope.sendmail.delivery import QueueMailDelivery

✗ from zope.sendmail import QueueMailDelivery

Same as above - specify submodule.

Send an email directly via SMTP without queuing.

from zope.sendmail.mailer import SMTPMailer from zope.sendmail.delivery import DirectMailDelivery mailer = SMTPMailer('smtp.example.com', port=25) delivery = DirectMailDelivery(mailer) from email.message import EmailMessage msg = EmailMessage() msg['From'] = 'sender@example.com' msg['To'] = 'recipient@example.com' msg['Subject'] = 'Test' msg.set_content('Hello') delivery.send('sender@example.com', ['recipient@example.com'], msg) print('Email sent.')

Debug

Known issues

gotchaSMTPMailer does not automatically close the connection; use context manager or call close() explicitly.

fix

Wrap in a context manager: with mailer as m: ... or call mailer.close() after sending.

affects: >=3.0

deprecatedzope.sendmail.mailer.Mailer is deprecated since version 5.0; use SMTPMailer instead.

fix

Replace import: from zope.sendmail.mailer import SMTPMailer

affects: >=5.0

gotchaQueueMailDelivery requires a configured queue directory and a separate script to process the queue (e.g., zope.sendmail.queueprocess).

fix

Ensure you run the queue processor as a separate process, e.g., bin/interp -m zope.sendmail.queueprocess path/to/queue

affects: >=3.0
