SMTPConnectError

[Otuekong William]

Hello guys,

I get the following error when trying to send mails to users after a successful registration on my app

"raise SMTPConnectError(code, msg)

Exception Type: SMTPConnectError at /register/
Exception Value: (421, b'Server busy, too many connections')

"

Any idea on how to go about this

my email settings configuration looks like this

EMAIL_BACKEND =  'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'

EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'

EMAIL_PORT= 587

EMAIL_HOST_USER = os.environ.get('EMAIL_USER')

EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD= os.environ.get('EMAIL_PASS')

EMAIL_USE_TLS= True

how many emails are you sending out like this?

this really isn't a django or python issue, its a gmail/google concern and is tied to using this pretty heavily over other services (mailgun, sendgrid, etc)

Indeed, I don't know how it is nowadays, but a few years ago Gmail did not allow (or did not support) using it as a smarthost if all you had was a free account. This means that even if you get it to work it will stop working the next day or month.
