Email Sending In Django not working

[peteru mimo]

Good day team,

I have been facing this challenge in sending mail in django

here is the error "A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond"

Code

def send_verification_email(request, user):

    from_email = settings.DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL

    current_site = get_current_site(request)

    mail_subject = 'Please activate your account'

    message = render_to_string('accounts/emails/account_verification_email.html', {

        'user': user,

        'domain': current_site,

        'uid': urlsafe_base64_encode(force_bytes(user.pk)),

        'token': default_token_generator.make_token(user),

    })

    to_email = user.email

    mail = EmailMessage(mail_subject, from_email, message, to=[to_email])

    mail.send()

Settings

EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.google.com'

EMAIL_POST = '587'

EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'myemail'

EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'email_password'

EMAIL_USE_TLS = True

Any solution will be appreciated. Thank you

EMAIL_PORT = '587'

It's more likely that google is not accepting the credentials you are providing or else the smtp server has just hung up due to several requests.

You can do it without using the django.core.mail. I've written an article recently on dev.to

Follow up and hope the article helps you

Thanks and Regards

Google hast stopped less secure apps, so u cant send email messages anymore with ur email and password, U will have to find some other way of sending mails.

[Lakshyaraj Dash]

Even if Google has stopped the support, emails can be still sent using two step verification and generating app passwords after enabling two step verification. Please update you email password with the generated app password.

Steps:

1. Go to manage my Google account

2. Go to security tab

3. Enable two step verification and verify yourself

4. Create your app passwords after the app passwords in the security settings is visible

5. Select the app name (or add your custom app name) and click generate.

6. Copy the app password as it's view once and cannot be viewed after the pop up is closed.

7. Go to your settings.py file and replace your actual email password with the generated app password.

Yay! You're all set.

Dear It's Alladin, please try this also to the one who asked this question please try it once.

Thanks and Regards

Please watch this video and ensure that you've properly configured the port numbers also your email address and password.

Note: Your email password should be the app password generated no your actual Gmail password

Thank you all i have figure it out.  EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.google.com' instead of  EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'

[It's Aladdin]

guys use this code for sending emails, it's working as of now
import smtplib

my_email = "som...@gmail.com"
password = "sfuyyudfgyudgfydsg"

with smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com') as connection:
connection.starttls()
connection.login(user=my_email, password=password)
connection.sendmail(
from_addr=my_email,
to_addrs="samaniabd...@gmail.com",
msg="Subject: Checking out automated mail in Python\n\nI don't
know what error I will get, there is only one way to find out.."
)
