I have created a registration page that sends an email notification on successful registration. I do have my email notification in place. But it doesn't seem to be working, neither it is throwing any error. Below is the code snippet.
views.py def register(request): validators = [MinimumLengthValidator, NumberValidator, UppercaseValidator] if request.method == 'POST': first_name = request.POST['first_name'] last_name = request.POST['last_name'] email = request.POST['email'] username = request.POST['username'] password = request.POST['password'] try: for validator in validators: validator().validate(password) except ValueError as e: messages.error(request, str(e)) return redirect('register') password2 = request.POST['password2'] # check if the password match if password == password2: if User.objects.filter(username=username).exists(): messages.error(request, 'username already exist') return redirect('register') else: if User.objects.filter(email=email).exists(): messages.error(request, 'Registration Failed - Try different email address') return redirect('register') else: user = User.objects.create_user(username=username, password=password, email=email, first_name=first_name, last_name=last_name) user.save() messages.success(request, 'Registration complete, please proceed to login') return redirect('register') else: messages.error(request, 'password dose not match') return redirect('register') else: return render(request, 'ACCOUNTS/register.html') def ThankYou(request, register): if request.method == 'POST': if register.is_valid(): save_it = register.save(commit=False) save_it.save() subject = 'Registration successful' message = 'Thank you for registration, please continue with the login' from_email = settings.EMAIL_HOST_USER to_list = [save_it.email, settings.EMAIL_HOST_USER] try: send_mail( subject, message, from_email, [to_list], fail_silently=False, ) except ValueError: return HttpResponse('Invalid header found.') else: messages.success(request, 'thank you ') return redirect('register') else: return redirect('index') Below is my settings.py EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend' EMAIL_USE_TLS = False EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com' EMAIL_PORT = 587 EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'ami.sa...@gmail.com' EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = '123' DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = 'ami.sa...@gmail.com' I have gone through a couple of Stackoverflow posts and made some changes as suggested. But they do not seem to have any effect. Below is one of the link.
