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?

Florian
