Hi Raj,
It sounds like your problem is email, rather than the form. In our
settings.py we use:
EMAIL_USE_TLS= True
EMAIL_HOST='smtp.webfaction.com'
EMAIL_HOST_USER='<my_mailbox>'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD=r'<mailbox_passwd'
EMAIL_PORT=587
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL='My Company <email_addr...@example.com>'
SERVER_EMAIL='webmas...@example.com'
Webfaction has the concept of a mailbox, which you setup and that is your
email host user.
Your email host password is what you set from their control panel. The
default from email and the server email need to be valid emails for the
mailbox that you have created at webfaction. If this doesn't work, then
test your code with a known email provider (ex. gmail) and verify that it
works. For gmail the email host will be smtp.gmail.com. Change the
email_host_user and password to your gmail account.
Good Luck!
William
