Your assumption on acquisition is correct. My guess is that you have been
bitten by the same issue that tricked me a couple of times earlier :

Probably , you just don't have the necessary permissions to
use/see/acquire the mailhost. Try giving your dtml-method a proxy role
of manager to check if this is the case , - you can tweak permission
settings more specifically later , after you isolated this to be the
problem..

:-)
