How to send email via Django?

问题:

In my settings.py, I have the following:

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'  # Host for sending e-mail. EMAIL_HOST = 'localhost'  # Port for sending e-mail. EMAIL_PORT = 1025  # Optional SMTP authentication information for EMAIL_HOST. EMAIL_HOST_USER = '' EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = '' EMAIL_USE_TLS = False 

My email code:

from django.core.mail import EmailMessage email = EmailMessage('Hello', 'World', to=['user@gmail.com']) email.send() 

Of course, if I setup a debugging server via python -m smtpd -n -c DebuggingServer localhost:1025, I can see the email in my terminal.

However, how do I actually send the email not to the debugging server but to user@gmail.com?

After reading your answers, let me get something straight:

1. Can't you use localhost(simple ubuntu pc) to send e-mails?

2. I thought in django 1.3 send_mail() is somewhat deprecated and EmailMessage.send() is used instead?

回答1:

Send the email to a real SMTP server. If you don't want to set up your own then you can find companies that will run one for you, such as Google themselves.

I use Gmail as my SMTP server for Django. Much easier than dealing with postfix or whatever other server. I'm not in the business of managing email servers.

In settings.py:

EMAIL_USE_TLS = True EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com' EMAIL_PORT = 587 EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'me@gmail.com' EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'password' 

NOTE: In 2016 Gmail is not allowing this anymore by default. You can either use an external service like Sendgrid, or you can follow this tutorial from Google to reduce security but allow this option: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255

1. Create a project: django-admin.py startproject gmail

2. Edit settings.py with code below:

   EMAIL_USE_TLS = True EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com' EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'youremail@gmail.com' EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'yourpassword' EMAIL_PORT = 587 

3. Run interactive mode: python manage.py shell

4. Import the EmailMessage module:

   from django.core.mail import EmailMessage 

5. Send the email:

   email = EmailMessage('Subject', 'Body', to=['your@email.com']) email.send()

For Django version 1.7, if above solutions dont work then try the following

in settings.py add

#For email EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'  EMAIL_USE_TLS = True  EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'  EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'sender@gmail.com'  #Must generate specific password for your app in [gmail settings][1] EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'app_specific_password'  EMAIL_PORT = 587  #This did the trick DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = EMAIL_HOST_USER 

The last line did the trick for django 1.7

My site is hosted on Godaddy and I have private email registered on the same. These are the settings which worked for me:

In settings.py:

EMAIL_HOST = 'mail.domain.com' EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'abc@domain.com' EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'abcdef' DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = 'abc@domain.com' SERVER_EMAIL = 'abc@domain.com' EMAIL_PORT = 25 EMAIL_USE_TLS = False 

In shell:

from django.core.mail import EmailMessage email = EmailMessage('Subject', 'Body', to=['def@domain.com']) email.send() 

Then I got "1" as the O/P i.e. Success. And I recieved the mail too. :)

You need to use smtp as backend in settings.py

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend' 

If you use backend as console, you will receive output in console

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.console.EmailBackend' 

And also below settings in addition

EMAIL_USE_TLS = True EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com' EMAIL_PORT = 587 EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'urusername@gmail.com' EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'password' 

If you are using gmail for this, setup 2-step verification and Application specific password and copy and paste that password in above EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD value.

I had actually done this from Django a while back. Open up a legitimate GMail account & enter the credentials here. Here's my code -

from email import Encoders from email.MIMEBase import MIMEBase from email.MIMEText import MIMEText from email.MIMEMultipart import MIMEMultipart  def sendmail(to, subject, text, attach=[], mtype='html'):     ok = True     gmail_user = settings.EMAIL_HOST_USER     gmail_pwd  = settings.EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD      msg = MIMEMultipart('alternative')      msg['From']    = gmail_user     msg['To']      = to     msg['Cc']      = 'you@gmail.com'     msg['Subject'] = subject      msg.attach(MIMEText(text, mtype))      for a in attach:         part = MIMEBase('application', 'octet-stream')         part.set_payload(open(attach, 'rb').read())         Encoders.encode_base64(part)         part.add_header('Content-Disposition','attachment; filename="%s"' % os.path.basename(a))         msg.attach(part)      try:         mailServer = smtplib.SMTP("smtp.gmail.com", 687)         mailServer.ehlo()         mailServer.starttls()         mailServer.ehlo()         mailServer.login(gmail_user, gmail_pwd)         mailServer.sendmail(gmail_user, [to,msg['Cc']], msg.as_string())         mailServer.close()     except:         ok = False     return ok

Late, but:

In addition to the DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL fix others have mentioned, and allowing less-secure apps to access the account, I had to navigate to https://accounts.google.com/DisplayUnlockCaptcha while signed in as the account in question to get Django to finally authenticate.

I went to that URL through a SSH tunnel to the web server to make sure the IP address was the same; I'm not totally sure if that's necessary but it can't hurt. You can do that like so: ssh -D 8080 -fN @, then set your web browser to use localhost:8080 as a SOCKS proxy.

I found using SendGrid to be the easiest way to set up sending email with Django. Here's how it works:

1. Create a SendGrid account (and verify your email)
2. Add the following to your settings.py: EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.sendgrid.net' EMAIL_HOST_USER = '' EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = '' EMAIL_PORT = 587 EMAIL_USE_TLS = True

And you're all set!

To send email:

from django.core.mail import send_mail send_mail('', '', 'from@example.com', ['to@example.com']) 

If you want Django to email you whenever there's a 500 internal server error, add the following to your settings.py:

DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = 'your.email@example.com' ADMINS = [('', 'your.email@example.com')] 

Sending email with SendGrid is free up to 12k emails per month.

You could use "Test Mail Server Tool" to test email sending on your machine or localhost. Google and Download "Test Mail Server Tool" and set it up.

Then in your settings.py:

EMAIL_BACKEND= 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend' EMAIL_HOST = 'localhost' EMAIL_PORT = 25 

From shell:

from django.core.mail import send_mail send_mail('subject','message','sender email',['receipient email'],    fail_silently=False)
