Here's the Django code that creates the SMTP connection and logs in, if user and password values have been specified: http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/trunk/django/core/mail.py#L104 As you can see, if use_tls has been specified, then TLS will be activated before login and the entire connection will be encrypted, but Django doesn't do anything specifically with the password. > Or does it fail not because of the password? because I can connect to > the mail server from my regular email client with pretty much the same > setting. > Pretty much the same? What's different? Do you specify anything about secure sockets or STARTTLS with the client? If you do, you probably need to turn on EMAIL_USE_TLS in the Django config. Other than that I'm not sure where to look for what's going wrong.
