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
with 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
