I\'ve been trying to get django to work with gmail\'s smtp server to send mails but I always get this traceback. Any help will be most appreciated.

Answer 1

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django_smtp_ssl.SSLEmailBackend'
EMAIL_HOST='smtp.gmail.com'
EMAIL_PORT=465
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'youruser'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = '*********'
DEFAULT_EMAIL_FROM = 'youremail@gmail.com'

works fine
