This code will generate a 500 error instead of sending an email about the
404 error (the problem is the TO field). It's a hard to error to find due
to no stack trace, had to binary search a lot of code to find it (cause it
works fine with console email backend (i.e during dev)):
{{{
from django.core.mail import send_mail
send_mail(
f'Suspicious file requested from {client_ip} for {path}',
f'Suspicious file requested from {client_ip}.\nURL:
{absolute_url}',
'"Notifications" <[email protected]>',
[Cfg.EMAIL_SUPPORT],
fail_silently=True,
)
}}}
If one emoves the double quotes:
{{{
send_mail(
f'Suspicious file requested from {client_ip} for {path}',
f'Suspicious file requested from {client_ip}.\nURL:
{absolute_url}',
'Notifications <[email protected]>',
[Cfg.EMAIL_SUPPORT],
fail_silently=True,
)
}}}
Then the from field in gmail is:
{{{
'Notifications' via support <[email protected]>
}}}
Which is not what it was set to. The person's name was set to
`Notifications` not `'Notifications' via support`, and the from email
address was set to `[email protected]` not `[email protected]`
This is my settings.py:
{{{
SERVER_EMAIL = f'[email protected]' # The reply to
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = [email protected]'
ADMINS = [('Support', '[email protected]')]
MANAGERS = ADMINS
EMAIL_SUBJECT_PREFIX = "Example Server: "
}}}
THe documentation says:
{{{
from_email: A string. If None, Django will use the value of the
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL setting.
}}}
It does not specify this unusual behavior.
