In two lines: from django.core.mail import send_mail
send_mail('Subject here', 'Here is the message.', 'f...@example.com', ['t...@example.com'], fail_silently=False) Mail is sent using the SMTP host and port specified in the EMAIL_HOST and EMAIL_PORT settings. The EMAIL_HOST_USER and EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD settings, if set, are used to authenticate to the SMTP server, and the EMAIL_USE_TLS setting controls whether a secure connection is used.
