Hi Larry, Yes - you'll need to configure the SMTP host, port and any login credentials. The exact settings required will depend on how you've got postfix configured, but the full list of settings that *may* be required is listed here:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/email/#smtp-backend This section of the docs also shows you another option -- if, during testing, you don't want to send mail out on the wire, you can configure your server to use a different mail "backend" for sending mail. So, for example, you can configure all mail to be "sent" to the console, saving you the trouble of waiting for your mail client to pick up mail from a mailbox.
