Access to MailHost objects is protected.

This does not explain why "context.superValues('MailHost')" returns
nothing (because it ignores permissions), but access to "id"
or the "getattr" will probably fail with an "Unauthorized" exception.

Try to give the script a "Manager" proxy role and see whether this
changes something.
