"gethostname" is not required to return the FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name). This is not your problem. But "gethostbyname(gethostname())" should be able to resolve whatever "gethostname()" returns into an IP address. If you already told us the platform you are using, then I missed this information (or forgot it). If you work under *nix, you may add an entry to "/etc/hosts" that assigns an IP address to the value "gethostname()" returns. I cannot help you much when you work under some variety of Windows. But, I know, Windows knows a "hosts" file as well. Maybe, the same approach works there, too. -- Dieter ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
Re: [Zope] Traceback Lines for Send Mail Error
Thanks Dieter. You hit the nail on the head. socket.gethostname() is not returning the full canonical name of the machine. But how do I correct this?

Looking at the "smtplib" source and your traceback reveals: "smtplib.SMTP.__init__" is trying to determine the local hostname. The code looks like this: if local_hostname is not None: self.local_hostname = local_hostname else: # RFC 2821 says we should use the fqdn in the EHLO/HELO verb, and # if that can't be calculated, that we should use a domain literal # instead (essentially an encoded IP address like [A.B.C.D]). fqdn = socket.getfqdn() if '.' in fqdn: self.local_hostname = fqdn else: # We can't find an fqdn hostname, so use a domain literal addr = socket.gethostbyname(socket.gethostname()) # your exception is raised in the line above self.local_hostname = '[%s]' % addr This means that you local system is in a strange state. Probably, it is unable to determine its hostname. Try (in an interactive Python interpreter): import socket socket.gethostname() socket.gethostbyname(socket.gethostname()) -- Dieter ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

Re: [Zope] Traceback Lines for Send Mail Error
Well, nothing has changed in the mail server setup so I don't know why this error is being thrown. Where can I access smtplib (I cannot locate this Python library in my Zope hierarchy)? Someone else also reported receiving this error as I discovered on Google but the issue was not resolved. Any help would be appreciated.
