I implemented registration / login / forgot password functionality in my
application following the steps described here
-https://simpleisbetterthancomplex.com/tutorial/2016/09/19/how-to-create-password-reset-view.html
I have it working with a google email and password sending on
smtp.gmail.com. Unfortunately it gets caught in the corporate spam folder
and I now have a company email address that I can use.
However, it will render the message saying that a password link is on its
way, but no email appears. Digging a little, it appears that the message
needs to go through a smtp server which does not need a password. For
example, I can successfully run the following code snippet to send mail to
myself.
import smtplib, ssl
from email.message import EmailMessage
smtp_server = "..."
from_email = "..."
to_email = "..."
msg = EmailMessage()
msg.set_content("The body of the email is here")
msg["Subject"] = "My testing email"
msg["From"] = from_email
msg["To"] = to_email
context = ssl.create_default_context()
with smtplib.SMTP(smtp_server, port=587) as smtp:
smtp.starttls(context=context)
# smtp.login(msg["From"], "")
smtp.send_message(msg)
Notice that smtp.login() is commented out. If I uncomment it, it gives me a
smtplib.SMTPNotSupportedError: SMTP AUTH extension not supported by server.
I have also tried using django's own send_mail which uses the values in
settings.py and that works as well, ie., I can send an email to myself.
from django.core.mail import send_mail
send_mail(
"My test subject",
"This is he body of the message",
from_email,
[to_email],
fail_silently=False
)
The EMAIL related properties in my settings.py are as follows.
EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
EMAIL_HOST = '...'
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'from_email'
#EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = ''
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
My question is, is there an application specific way by which I can signal
to the django registration code to not login to the SMTP server when
sending hte forgot password email? I tried commenting out the password but
it doesn't seem to have had any effect.
TIA for any guidance.
Best,
Sujit
