Hi, Florian
Actually, I'm afraid you haven't got a change to look under a cover
yet. Use The Source, Luke!
self.connection = smtplib.SMTP(self.host, self.port,
local_hostname=DNS_NAME.get_fqdn())
where
self.host = host or settings.EMAIL_HOST
and
self.port = port or settings.EMAIL_PORT
try to use raw smtplib.SMTP first, and tell what happened.
if it doesn't work as mail_admins does, problem is with your email
server config or with socket.getaddrinfo deeply in smtplib.py, if it
works -- you haven't set EMAIL_HOST (misspelled?).
