I think VP is correct. There is a confusion between mail.settings.* in db.py and settings.* in 0.py. I configured the mail.settings.* lines in db.py, not realizing that further down below in db.py, they redefine all those variables, based on the contents of settings that are created in 0.py.
It's working now. So if this happens to anybody else, look at your db.py and see if mail.settings.login is defined twice.
