Dynamic Django Mail Configuration

Question

I don\'t want to use email configuration fields in setting.py, i want to put them in to a model.

class Configuration(models.Model):
    email_use_tls = model         


        

Answer 1

Very interesting question. It seems like this is already implemented in EmailMessage class.

First you need to configure email backend

from django.core.mail import EmailMessage
from django.core.mail.backends.smtp import EmailBackend


config = Configuration.objects.get(**lookup_kwargs)

backend = EmailBackend(host=config.host, port=congig.port, username=config.username, 
                       password=config.password, use_tls=config.use_tls, fail_silently=config.fail_silently)

Then just pass connection to EmailMessage

email = EmailMessage(subject='subj', body='body', from_email=from_email, to=to, 
             connection=backend)

Then send email :)

email.send()

Ofc if you want html or file attachments use EmailMultiAlternatives instead
