Hello, I'm experiencing some odd behavior with SMTP connections and the functions to send mail.
The relevant settings in my settings.py: ADMINS = ( ('Florian Lindner', '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'), ) EMAIL_HOST = "xgm.de" EMAIL_HOST_USER = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = "xxx" I use the mail_admin function to send mail: mail_admins("Neues Kommentar", message) Using it this way produces an SMTPAuthenticationError at /blog/ previewComment/(535, '5.7.0 authentication failed'). Since the mail server xgm.de is under my control I scanned the logs and found no sign that my localhost even tried to connect. Using tcpdump revealed that Django tried to connect to mail.dnsteam.de:SMTP which is the second MX of xgm.de. - I would expect that EMAIL_HOST is being used as smarthost. This way Django should not even care about MX or something like that. I just logs in using EMAIL_HOST_USER / _PASSWORD and sends the mail. - Even if it cared about MX it would have used the wrong one, because mail.dnsteam is the one with the less priority. Am I getting something completely wrong or is this a bug?
