Django sending email

by

Are you trying to use a gmail account? Maybe try this then:

EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'
EMAIL_HOST_USER = '[email protected]'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'your-password'
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True

Then try test (django < 1.4) by

python manage.py shell
>>> from django.core.mail import send_mail
>>> send_mail('test email', 'hello world', to=['[email protected]'])

And if you use django 1.4 use this:

python manage.py shell
>>> from django.core.mail import send_mail
>>> send_mail('test email', 'hello world', '[email protected]', ['[email protected]'])

If you’re not using a gmail account and still getting problems then just try add the EMAIL_HOST_USER and EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD to what you have.
If you still have issues maybe your network is blocking you. Firewalls on your OS or router.

Thanks to knite for the updated syntax. Throw him a +1 and thanks to pranavk for letting me know about the syntax change in django 1.4
