I have a Pinax social project that earlier was holding emails as rejected (they came from webmaster@localhost), and near the beginning of settings.py added:
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = 'Orthodox Network <cjshayw...@orthodox-network.com>' EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend' EMAIL_USE_TLS = True EMAIL_HOST = 'mail.orthodox-network.com' EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'cjshayward' # Mailbox name from https://my.webfaction.com/mailbox/list EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = '____________' EMAIL_PORT = 25 EMAIL_SUBJECT_PREFIX = '[Orthodox Network] ' There were earlier seven emails from friends who had tried to confirm their email address; when I originally did: python manage.py send_mail python manage.py retry_deferred it gave error messages and didn't send the messages. Now I added to the settings.py: DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = 'Orthodox Network <cjshayw...@orthodox-network.com>' EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend' EMAIL_USE_TLS = True EMAIL_HOST = 'mail.orthodox-network.com' EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'cjshayward' # Mailbox name from https://my.webfaction.com/mailbox/list EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = '____________' EMAIL_PORT = 25 EMAIL_SUBJECT_PREFIX = '[Orthodox Network] ' it ran without reported error, but none of my users have reported receiving the expected email. The VPS is set up to allow Mail; the following appears to work: $ Mail cjshayw...@pobox.com Subject: Test Test . Cc: Which brings me to my question: *How can I tell Django to use the VPS's regular sendmail to power send_mail, retry_deferred, and emit_notices?* * * Thanks in advance. -- [image: Christos Jonathan Hayward] <http://jonathanscorner.com/> Christos Jonathan Hayward, an Orthodox Christian author.
