sending django email via gmail
Scott Macri
getting a connection refused error even though I know the parameters
are correct.
settings.py
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'
EMAIL_PORT = '587'
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'myu...@gmail.com'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'password'
idle command:
send_mail('My First Subject','My First Email Message in
DJango','myu...@gmail.com',['some...@gmail.com'],fail_silently=False)
I am able to send email through my mail client (Thunderbird).
Any insight on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Also are you using regular gmail or google apps???

Connection refused is pretty clear. Something is stopping outgoing
connections from reaching smtp.gmail.com.
You didn't specify whether thunderbird and django running on the same
machine - are they?
If you go to a console on the machine where django is running, and
type in "telnet smtp.gmail.com 587", you should get an output like
this:
> $ telnet smtp.gmail.com 587
Trying 173.194.67.108...
Connected to gmail-smtp-msa.l.google.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mx.google.com ESMTP 9sm82106435wid.2
If not, you must have a firewall somewhere between that box and google
that is refusing the connection.

I can run thunderbird on the same machine and don't have any issues.
No, I am not running tbird at the same time as the django app. Thus,
I know it's not a port conflict.

It wouldn't make any difference if you were running your Django app and
T'bird at the same time. The port that the Django dev server uses has
nothing to do with the port the Gmail SMTP server uses. Even if your
Django app were to send email at precisely the same time as T'bird, it
wouldn't make any difference. SMTP servers are designed to handle
multiple simultaneous connections.

Telnet works, if i turn off tls and set 25 as port and every thing
works fine. But i want secure connection with tls...
By the way i have same situation with other smtp server (yandex for
example.)
Here is my settings:
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_HOST = "smtp.googlemail.com"
EMAIL_PORT = 465
EMAIL_HOST_USER = "infin...@gmail.com"
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = "password"
infinitylX
import smtplib
def main():
print "sending throut gmail"
username = "infin...@gmail.com"
password = "password"
fromaddr = "infin...@gmail.com"
toaddr = "so...@other.email.com"
msg = "join the quark"
server = smtplib.SMTP_SSL('smtp.googlemail.com:465')
server.login(username, password)
server.sendmail(fromaddr, [toaddr], msg)
server.quit()
print "sended"
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()

port 587 successfully with gmail. In any case, Django 1.3.1 does this,
not the code you showed.
self.connection = smtplib.SMTP(self.host, self.port,
local_hostname=DNS_NAME.get_fqdn())
if self.use_tls:
self.connection.ehlo()
self.connection.starttls()
self.connection.ehlo()
So this method will probably not work over port 465.

Because, as JJO stated, the code you show is NOT what Django does when
establishing a secure email connection. The code you showed
establishes an SSL connection to the email server. The
smtplib.SMTP_SSL method you show is a feature new in Python 2.6.
Django still supports Python 2.5, so cannot use this method. The older
way of establishing a secure connection to an email server is to begin
with a non-encrypted connection and upgrade it to secure via the
STARTTLS command. This is what Django does when you specify
EMAIL_USE_TLS=True. Gmail doc notes that for the TLS/STARTTLS case,
you need to use port 587:
