Question about email sending with Google Apps

[Chen Xu]

Hi Everyone,

I just setup google apps to use gmail with my own domain "example.com", and I want to use django send_mail to send emails from sup...@example.com, which might be for registration message, something like that. However, when I create the group in google apps, sup...@example.com will not have a password, but send_mail function requires an authentication. I wonder how this is usually done.

Thanks

Dont know how thats usually done, i can tell you how we do it.

We have an "out of repository" file where that important data is stored, like mail passwords, database name, user and pass, django SECRET_KEY, etc...

And in settings.py you simply import it

Every email account will have a username and password. Unless it's an alias, in which case you can't use it. Sounds like you've set up an alias here. You can still use it as a from email address, but can't use it to authenticate with smtp

So does that mean when I see my registration confirmation email sent from no-r...@exmaple.com or sup...@example.com, they literally created the  user no-reply or support for the type of purpose?

Thanks

Most likely. In a lot of cases someone will be scaning those even if it's a no-reply address. At least that's been a case in companies I worked for, but it depends how big you are and how much you like your customers. You simply forward the mail to one or more people and filter it as it cook need in them look over it occasionally

I think  my expected behavior of an no-reply email is a "Delivery Failure" when people try to reply. Can google apps do it if I create no reply user.

Using an email address as from address, which doesn't exist, may hurt your deliverability. You can set it up and enable an auto responder which informs the user that the inbox isn't monitored. But if you want the delivery to fail then simply don't create it and use it as from email.
