Registration email on GAE

[murray3]

I have been working on an app which has auth working fine.
I can register and recieve the reg email etc.

I am transferring it to GAE SDK, site seems to work ok.
The registration email process does not work??

Anyone have an idea, been through this problem before?
any help appreciated.

I use it and it works fine but Google is more picky about smtp. Are
you using gmail?

Massimo,
yes I am using gmail smtp and gmail account to send!

The only thing I think of is that gmail smtp requires that the sendto
address is the gmail email account.

I have spent a some time looking into this and accordingly found there
is an ongoing
bug with GAE dev_appserver.py (SDK) that prevents python from sending
emails using
smtp. The alternative is to use sendmail or MTA compatible.
Trouble is I am developing on winXP and the only sendmail clones are
very buggy and
after much trails I cannot get them to connect / authenticate with
smtp.gmail.com
There is indigo mail (sendmail for windows) and commandline sendmail
tools which
are mostly beta, so not sure if these have ongoing bugs! or maybe it's
just
because gmail uses secure transfer and these apps are not compliant.
Not sure?

My question now is if I want to carry on developing/testing with
web2ppy Auth using
local GAE SDK, Is there a way I can add users to local db with
requiring
registation email etc?
