In your settings.py, make sure you set EMAIL_HOST correctly.
1. test if you are able to email with a simple python program:
If you have comcast cable in your home, this should work:
-----------------------------------
import smtplib
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
def email_me(myRecipient):
me = "whatevermyem...@gmail.com"
EMAIL_HOST='smtp.comcast.net'
# Create message container - the correct MIME type is
multipart/alternative.
msg = MIMEMultipart('alternative')
msg['Subject'] = "Test email"
msg['From'] = me
msg['To'] = myRecipient
# Create the body of the message (a plain-text and an HTML version).
text = """
this is just a test
"""
html = """\
<html>
<head>
</head><body>
<li> This is just a test <br>
</li>
</body>
</html>
"""
part1 = MIMEText(text, 'plain')
part2 = MIMEText(html, 'html')
msg.attach(part1)
msg.attach(part2)
# Send the message via local SMTP server.
s = smtplib.SMTP(EMAIL_HOST)
# sendmail function takes 3 arguments: sender's address, recipient's
address
# and message to send - here it is sent as one string.
s.sendmail(me, myRecipient, msg.as_string())
s.quit()
################
# --- MAIN --- #
################
email_me("mywhatver_em...@gmail.com")
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.
Once above test email code works, you can set the EMAIL_HOST in your
settings.py to the same.
