I've came across this too while working on https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/20743 (add support for ssl keyfile/certfile). If support for keyfile/certfile would be added two additional settings for the SMTP backend would be required to configure the file paths. The current settings for emails is confusing IMO since some settings are for emails in general (EMAIL_BACKEND, EMAIL_SUBJECT_PREFIX) and others are backend related (EMAIL_FILE_PATH for the file backend, several others for the SMTP backend). IMO it's a good idea to make it clear which settings belong to which backend and a dictionary-based solution sounds good to me. -- Andi > > Cheers > Julian > > PS: This change is only so altruistic, as it would enable me to include > email settings in my dj-database-url fork > (https://github.com/julianwachholz/dj-config-url). > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Django developers" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to django-developers+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To post to this group, send email to django-developers@googlegroups.com. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/django-developers/3ed1fa0e-8676-412e-8265-aaa196465ffb%40googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
