Probably the easiest thing to do is create an admin action for it [1]. I
just recently wrote this, so here is (snippets of) my code [2].

The send_mail method does exactly as it says, it sends mail with subject,
message, from, to some recepients.

Re: How to create ability to send email from the admin with django?

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.

How to create ability to send email from the admin with django?

[ChrisR]

I've been searching and trying to figure this out, but I haven't quite
found the source that makes it snap in my mind.

I'd like to be able to send an email or emails out from my site
through the admin.  I have the email settings added to settings.py,
but not sure where to go next.

I've read the documentation about sending email on the django site:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.0/topics/email/

The "Quick" example that allows you to send email in 2 lines doesn't
make sense to me:
"from django.core.mail import send_mail

send_mail('Subject here', 'Here is the message.', 'f...@example.com',
['t...@example.com'], fail_silently=False)"


Where is that code supposed to live?  How do you actually send it?
I've seen a few things that imply you did it from the Python API?

Can someone point me in the right direction on how to make this happen
through the admin?  Do I need to make a model for it?  What triggers
the actual send then?

Thanks for any help!
