mail.settings.server = 'logging' only logs but does not send emails. PythonAnywhere does not run any smtp server so you have to use an external one for example gmail:
mail.settings.server = 'smtp.gmail.com:587' You need to configure that with your username and password. You also have to tell gmail to allow your app to connect to it via smtp.
