Re: send_mail on MAC OS X 10.7

Comment the csrf from settings. It doesnt work when you want.I use session and own credentials to do that
And just write a simple view to send mail.
This will work without csrf or any of credentials & etc.

Hi,

I am new to django.

I am following The Definitive Guide to Django SECOND EDITION by Adrian Holovaty and Jacob Kaplan -Moss and I cannot get the contact form to send mail. First the eg did not work at all until I added the @csrf-exempt decorator. Keeps getting Error 61 Connection Failure after that.

Would be grateful if someone can help.

Thanks,
Cheng

Hi Laxmikant,

Do you mean this statement (I can't find any other that refers to csrf) in settings

   'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware',

I commented it, but it still gives me error 61 - Connection refused.

Thanks,
Cheng Hong

Please be *very* careful giving this advice. Advising someone to
disable CSRF will almost universally be the wrong advice. By disabling
CSRF, you're exposing your site to known and avoidable security
problems.

If you're getting CSRF errors, It's *much* better to try an understand
what's going on and deal with the actual problem, rather than just
making the problem "go away".

I don't want to appear rude, but I suspect the only reason you don't
feel insecure is because you don't fully understand the risks.

There's a reason Django has CSRF protection turned on by default. CSRF
attacks are very real, very common, and very easy to manufacture. If
you're not taking steps to prevent CSRF attacks, any website you
produce is potentially at risk. I *strongly* urge you to do some
research into CSRF attacks, and if you have problems with Django's
CSRF framework, ask about and solve those problems -- don't just turn
off CSRF protection and declare that your site works.

Okay, Thanks. Will hv to do that.

did you start the sendmail program?

Hi Dennis,

I am not familiar with setting up the Mac. How do I check the STMP service on the Mac?

I am able to send email through the Mac's Mail application though. The outgoing mail server for the Mail application is smtp.googlemail.com. The incoming mail server for the Mail application is imap.googlemail.com.

Thanks,
Cheng

Hi Kobe,

I am not familiar with the Mac's setup.
Do you mean the Mac's Mail application?  If so, yes. If not, how do I start the sendmail program?

Thanks,
Cheng

If you know the right SMTP server to use, then simply configure django
to use it:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/ref/settings/#email-host

Cheng,

Yeah, there's probably no need to be running sendmail on the Mac
if you only use it as a client machine, not a server that accepts
incoming mail requests from other machines.  Just configure Django
to use an SMTP server somewhere in the world that you have rights
to use, like smtp.googlemail.com as you do with your Apple Mail
client.
