Comment:
I'm unclear as to what exactly you see as the course of action here. If
GMail is suggesting you should use port 465 and that isn't correct, the
fault lies with the GMail documentation, not Django.
Django provides an EMAIL_PORT option. You are free to use whatever value
works. If, when pointing at GMail, port 465 doesn't work, but port 587
does, then set EMAIL_PORT=587 and move on.
Unless:
1) there is something explicitly wrong with Django's SMTP handling for
port 465, or
2) there is a Django default that specifies port 465, or
3) there is Django documentation suggesting that port 465 will work
I can't see anything that we can do. (2) and (3) aren't true (I can't find
any reference to port 465 in docs or settings). Django doesn't contain any
special handling for port 465, so I can't see how (1) could be true
either. Therefore, there isn't much we can do to fix this problem. Unless
you can propose a course of action that is actually in Django's domain,
I'm marking this ticket invalid.
