I use django-registration for my project to manage user registration, login, etc. But When I sign up for an account I came across this problem:
SMTPServerDisconnected
For the record, I did configure email related settings in my settings.py:
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'
EMAIL_PORT = 465
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_HOST_USER = '[email protected]'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'mypassword'
Also I have all the templates needed and accessible. So this problem doesn't have anything to do with that.
More Error description:
After I click on the send activation email, it takes a long time before it finally give that error.
Here is the traceback (not complete):
SMTPServerDisconnected at /accounts/register/
Connection unexpectedly closed
last trace back:
/usr/lib/python2.7/smtplib.py in getreply
line = self.file.readline()
except socket.error as e:
self.close()
raise SMTPServerDisconnected("Connection unexpectedly closed: "
+ str(e))
if line == '':
self.close()
raise SMTPServerDisconnected("Connection unexpectedly closed")
...
if self.debuglevel > 0:
print>>stderr, 'reply:', repr(line)
resp.append(line[4:].strip())
code = line[:3]
# Check that the error code is syntactically correct.
# Don't attempt to read a continuation line if it is broken.
Thanks for any suggestion.
I think at least one setting is incorrect. Port 587 is required for TLS [1]
EMAIL_PORT = 587
