How to use send_mail function.

[Chen Xu]

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to send emails from gmail, I know I can do it if I put the following in settings.py:

EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'exa...@gmail.com'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'password'

But I wonder if I dont specify them, and call it in the following way.

send_mail('Subject here', 'Here is the message.', 'fr...@example.com',

        ['t...@gmail.com'], fail_silently=False, auth_user='example@gmail.com', auth_password='password').

It says connection refused. How do I fix this.

Thanks

Hi Chen,

Check this post:

I think you are missing the settings for secure SMTP (which google requires).
