Hi,
First time writing a ticket so I apologize if I do anything improperly
here. This issue just arose on a project I've been working on, and it goes
as follows:
Our MANAGERS setting was set like so:
{{{
MANAGERS = ['[email protected]', '[email protected]']
}}}
And after calling mail_managers, the result was:
{{{
smtplib.SMTPRecipientsRefused: {'=?utf-8?q?h?=': (550, b'5.1.1
<=?utf-8?q?h?=>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local
recipient table'), '=?utf-8?q?u?=': (550, b'5.1.1 <=?utf-8?q?u?=>:
Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table')}
}}}
After some investigation it became clear that this setting was in the
improper format, but that was only because of
[https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13481307/django-admin-emails-are-not-
sending-properly this StackOverflow post]. It would be nice if Django
failed early if this setting was detected but improperly set, rather than
waiting until the consequences become apparent.
Thank you,
Kevin
