Comment (by Mike Edmunds):
Since the last activity on this ticket:
* We've documented how to use self-signed certs and private CAs with
Django's SMTP EmailBackend by updating the system CA bundle. (Added in
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.1/ref/settings/#email-ssl-
certfile:~:text=EMAIL_SSL_CERTFILE%20should%20not,SSLContext.load_verify_locations().
Django 5.1 settings docs], expanded into its own
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/6.1/topics/email/#private-and-self-
signed-smtp-server-certificates section in 6.1].)
* We've implemented dictionary-based `MAILERS` configuration, which allows
adding new EmailBackend options without needing new top-level settings.
* There's been some helpful discussion in the PR about why modifying the
system CA bundle is not always possible or desirable and an SMTP
EmailBackend option makes sense.
(https://github.com/django/django/pull/18456#issuecomment-2604487356 et
seq.).
I think a reasonable next step would be updating the open PR for the
Django 6.2dev codebase (taking advantage of `MAILERS` OPTIONS). Or if
there's still controversy over this, bouncing it to the new-features
process and consolidating all of the pros and cons there.
