I have installed pinax on my local and I try to sign-up on it. but the email verification is not working, so I look over the internet on how to config about the email verification but failed.
I try also the forgot password but it requires the email address to be confirmed.
I also try to put this code in settings.py
EMAIL_HOST = '...'
EMAIL_PORT = ..
EMAIL_HOST_USER = '...'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = '..'
EMAIL_SUBJECT_PREFIX = '..'
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_ADMIN = '...'
but still not working.
Does anyone have an idea on why my pinax's email verification is not working?
Did you check your spam folder?
Also some apps tell Django to silently ignore EMail sending errors.
Try this quick example in the shell you get from python manage.py shell and see if it shows you any errors.

I'm new to Django, but I have read on the order of 50 pages (mostly SO and Django documentation) and haven't found anything that quite works for my situation.
I'm merely trying to send an email via the send_mail function in Django; although I'm hoping to get this working through SMTP on Gmail, right now it doesn't even work via localhost. When I run my test_email.py file where I'm testing this send_mail function, I get the following error:
ConnectionRefusedError: [WinError 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it
When I run this same send_mail call in the shell (via python manage.py shell), it's completely fine and displays the email just as I would expect. It's only once I try to run it in Django that the error pops up. Note that I get the above error no matter which permutation of the following 2 sets of settings I put in my settings.py file:
EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.console.EmailBackend'
EMAIL_HOST = 'localhost'
EMAIL_PORT = 1025
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'myemail#gmail.com'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = ''
EMAIL_USE_TLS = False
I've also played around with the following in my settings.py file, and various mixes of these settings with the previous set (though I guess I'm getting ahead of myself seeing how localhost isn't working):
EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'myemail#gmail.com' # Note I'm using my actual gmail address here in real life
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = '****' # Note I'm using my actual gmail password here in real life
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = 'myemail#gmail.com' # Note I'm using my actual gmail address here in real life
SERVER_EMAIL = 'myemail#gmail.com' # Note I'm using my actual gmail address here in real life
I'm running the following command in a CMD prompt off to the side when I try to run going the localhost route:
python -m smtpd -n -c DebuggingServer localhost:1025
Here's the test_email.py file I'm trying to run in Django, where I get the connection refused error:
from django.core.mail import send_mail,EmailMessage
from django.conf import settings
settings.configure()
# Create your tests here.
# Email test #1: send email from my personal email to myself
send_mail(
'Email Test #1',
'Test if I can send email from my personal Gmail account to another email account via Django project.',
settings.EMAIL_HOST_USER,
['myemail#gmail.com'],
fail_silently=False
)
Any thoughts on why this isn't even working via localhost or suggestions on other things to try would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
I think there are some problem with gmail smtp service. Try using smtp service form sendgrid. It is also free for basic usage. I too was facing the same issue earlier.
In project settings.py
EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.sendgrid.net'
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'sendgridusername'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'sedgridpasseord'
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = 'yourmail#site.com'
still error
Try if `smtp` service is working on your your server.
The following configuration worked for me:
settings.py
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.sendgrid.net'
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'apikey' # this is exactly the value 'apikey'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'sendgrid-api-key' # this is your API key
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = 'your-email#example.com' # this is the sendgrid email
I used this configuration, and it worked properly, and I strongly suggest using environment variables to fill EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD and DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL:
import os # this should be at the top of the file
# ...
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.sendgrid.net'
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'apikey'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = os.getenv("EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD", "")
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = os.getenv("DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL", "")
In order to send an email, use the following code:
from django.conf import settings
from django.core.mail import send_mail
send_mail('This is the title of the email',
'This is the message you want to send',
settings.DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL,
[
settings.EMAIL_HOST_USER, # add more emails to this list of you want to
]
)
Make sure your settings are in the project settings.py NOT app settings.py as follows
EMAIL_HOST = 'localhost'
EMAIL_PORT = 1025
EMAIL_HOST_USER = ''
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = ''
EMAIL_USE_TLS = False
note the empty string for EMAIL_HOST_USER I think this is your mistake
Once you run your virtual python SMTP using
python -m smtpd -n -c DebuggingServer localhost:1025
You will be able to send to your local smtp server with no problem.

Try to enable this option in your google account after you make sure that your mail and password is right.
https://myaccount.google.com/lesssecureapps?pli=1
google blocks the access to insecure apps.
your code seems to be right!
I am trying to send emails from my django app using the the gmail smtp servers. The emails are being sent when I run the application on my local server. But I'm getting an SMTP Authentication Error while using it on heroku.
Traceback - link
settings.py -
# Email configuration.
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_HOST_USER = '***************#gmail.com'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = '************'
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = '******************#gmail.com'
EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
And I have rechecked the account password, also I have enabled the access of less secure apps from my google account. But still I am getting this error.
Disabling CAPTCHA for clients
If you are not using 2-factor authentication and you have verified the credentials in your Python source are correct, follow these steps:
Login to gmail in your browser
Navigate to the DisplayUnclockCaptcha page.
Click the continue button, and you will see the message
Account access enabled Please try signing in to your Google account again from your new device or application.
Run your Python script - your login attempt should be successful.
Try using sendgrid, because gmail smtp has some problem. I too was unable to do using gmail smtp. But it worked perfectly using sendgrid. And this is also free for basic use.
EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.sendgrid.net'
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'username'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'userpassword'
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = 'asdf#example.com'
Change from mail(#gmail.com) domain to your company domain .then it will work. we can't use from mail domain #gmail.com, DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = '******************#yourcompanydomain.com'
We have a Django application that runs on CentOS.
We've created a new feature for password reset using the Django auth and forms.
This works when working on development servers but when I deploy this to our production environment the mail with the unique link is not being sent.
I've pinpointed the problem to the fact that Django using smtplib is trying to send the e-mail through port 25 with Postfix instead using the settings.py which is pointed to Google server.
When i turn Postfix off I get connection refused when trying to reset the password.
We have other mail functionality that works, only the reset password doesn't.
My settings.py:
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'my-mail#gmail.com'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'my-pass'
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = 'my-mail#gmail.com'
EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
SERVER_EMAIL = 'my-mail#gmail.com'
The view is from auth_views.password_reset and I'm calling it from my main urls.py file.
Solution:
It turns out I had another settings.py file located in the home directory of the project as backup.
The problem was I added this home directory in the apache/django.wsgi file so Django was looking at this file and not the updated.
Once I've deleted this file everything works.
Thanks for your help.

I have simply set following setting:
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'myemail#gmail.com'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'myemailpwd'
And, following code send emails without any interruption
from django.core.mail import EmailMessage
email = EmailMessage('TEST TITLE', 'TEST BODY', to=[email])
email.send()
Try below code and write error you are getting if any.
In settings.py
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'your email'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'your password'
EMAIL_PORT = 587
In send_mail.py
from django.core.mail import EmailMultiAlternatives
import settings
def send_mail():
from_email = settings.EMAIL_HOST_USER
to_email = ['your_email_address#example.com']
subject = "Any text"
body = "Hello world"
msg = EmailMultiAlternatives(subject, body, from_email, to_email)
msg.send()
send_mail()
I've been trying to get the django-registration-redux account activation email to send to newly registered users.
I've gotten all non-email related parts to work, such as loggin in/out and actually registering the user! When i register, it automatically logs my in as that user. But i never get the activation email.
I've tried various different things to try get this to work, I've followed some tutorials on setting whole thing up but the emails still dont work.
heres some of the code setup, im using registration templates that i downloaded online.
settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = (
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
'registration',
'synths',
)
# user reg settings
REGISTRATION_OPEN = True
ACCOUNT_ACTIVATION_DAYS = 7
REGISTRATION_AUTO_LOGIN = True
LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = '/'
LOGIN_URL = '/login/'
# i tried including this line but still nothing
# EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.console.EmailBackend'
# email
# first i tried setting up the debbuging server with this CMD line
# python -m smtpd -n -c DebuggingServer localhost:1025
# i dont know if it worked!, i got no errors but the cursor just
# sat there blinking at me! i was expecting some output to tell me
# the server had started
# these were the settings i used for that
EMAIL_HOST = '127.0.0.1'
EMAIL_PORT = 1025
EMAIL_HOST_USER = ''
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = ''
# then i tried using my own address and smtp.live.com
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.live.com'
EMAIL_PORT = 25
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'myemailaddress#hotmail.com'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = '123123abcabc'
# still nothing
am i missing any important settings here?
urls.py
# included amongst my other urls
(r'^accounts/', include('registration.backends.simple.urls')),
seems all in order with the tutorials and documentation. like i said, registration works perfectly bar the emails.
one thing ive noticed is that you probably shouldn't have auto loggin = True if you want a user to activate their accounts, but commenting that line out didnt change anything, i still got logged in automatically after registering. Seems like a minor aside but maybe this has something to do with the emails not working?
i dunno, im lost with it. Either im missing some settings, the code doesnt work, python smtpd doesnt work, or my smtp.live.com settings are wrong!
any insigths greatly appreciated!
EDIT: when trying the 'reset password' email function i get this error
SMTPException at /accounts/password/reset/
SMTP AUTH extension not supported by server.
Request Method: POST
Request URL: http://localhost:8000/accounts/password/reset/
Django Version: 1.7.6
Exception Type: SMTPException
Exception Value: SMTP AUTH extension not supported by server.
Exception Location: C:\Python34\lib\smtplib.py in login, line 613
Python Executable: C:\Python34\python.exe
Python Version: 3.4.3
EDIT 2: using these settings i get the the password/reset/done page but recieve no actual email
EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.console.EmailBackend'
EMAIL_HOST = '127.0.0.1'
EMAIL_PORT = 1025
EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.console.EmailBackend'
will only display the email on the console.
Instead you should use
EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
Moreover it is more convenient to use a existing smtp server like gmail
For that you need to add these to your django settings file
EMAIL_BACKEND='django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
EMAIL_HOST ='smtp.gmail.com'
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'youruser#gmail.com'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'gmail app password' #This is not your gmail password.
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
More help on the password can be found here
You may want to try adding a DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL setting and setting these settings:
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_USE_SSL = True
This will allow Django to use secure email-sending.
Check your urls.py file, and make sure you are using the hmac not the simple
urlpatterns = [
#...
url(r'^accounts/', include('registration.backends.hmac.urls')),
]
Also, in your setting.py, INSTALLED_APPS, make sure that the 'registration' is before django.contrib.auth.
INSTALLED_APPS = [
#.....
'registration',
'django.contrib.auth',
#...
]
I know this is an old question, but I thought it would help anybody else looking for the answer. You have setup your urlconf to use the one step registration. Below is a snippet from their docs -
This backend’s workflow is deliberately as simple as possible:
A user signs up by filling out a registration form.
The user’s account is created and is active immediately, with no intermediate confirmation or activation step.
The new user is logged in immediately.
If you want to see the emails in the console, use the following urlconf instead -
url(r'^account/', include('registration.backends.default.urls')),
Hope that helps.
I try to send mail with Gmail smtp in my Django App.
I followed some instructions to configure my setting.py file.
Here is my code snippet in setting.py file.
EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.dummy.EmailBackend'
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'myusername#gmail.com'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'my_password'
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
then I tried these commands below to send mail to my own gmail account:
python manage.py shell
>>> from django.core.mail import EmailMessage
>>> email = EmailMessage('Mail Test', 'This is a test', to=['myusername#gmail.com'])
>>> email.send()
it returned 1 to me, it should be successful.
However, I can't find the testing mail in my inbox in my gmail.
Are there anything which I missed to set?
I run my Django site on localhost in Debug mode. And the Django's version is 1.5.
Thanks in advance! Any suggestion is appreciated.
UPDTED:
I changed the following code
EMAIL_BACKEND = django.core.mail.backends.dummy.EmailBackend
to
EMAIL_BACKEND = django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend
And, I have succeed to send the mail.
You email backend is set to dummy. Change it to smtp
EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
Documentation
Dummy backend just prints to the console, and does nothing
