I'm attempting to send a message from my django app via gmail and keep getting a connection refused error even though I know the parameters are correct.
settings.py EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com' EMAIL_PORT = '587' EMAIL_USE_TLS = True EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'myu...@gmail.com' EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'password' idle command: send_mail('My First Subject','My First Email Message in DJango','myu...@gmail.com',['someb...@gmail.com'],fail_silently=False) I am able to send email through my mail client (Thunderbird). Any insight on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. ********* The error message is below ************ Traceback (most recent call last): File "<console>", line 1, in <module> File "/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/django/core/mail/__init__.py", line 61, in send_mail connection=connection).send() File "/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/django/core/mail/message.py", line 251, in send return self.get_connection(fail_silently).send_messages([self]) File "/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/django/core/mail/backends/smtp.py", line 79, in send_messages new_conn_created = self.open() File "/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/django/core/mail/backends/smtp.py", line 42, in open local_hostname=DNS_NAME.get_fqdn()) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/smtplib.py", line 239, in __init__ (code, msg) = self.connect(host, port) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/smtplib.py", line 295, in connect self.sock = self._get_socket(host, port, self.timeout) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/smtplib.py", line 273, in _get_socket return socket.create_connection((port, host), timeout) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/socket.py", line 512, in create_connection raise error, msg error: [Errno 61] Connection refused -- Scott -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
