Testing email sending in Django [closed]

Answer 1

Tying a few of the pieces here together, here's a straightforward setup based on filebased.EmailBackend. This renders a list view linking to the individual log files, which have conveniently timestamped filenames. Clicking a link in the list displays that message in the browser (raw):

Settings

EMAIL_BACKEND = "django.core.mail.backends.filebased.EmailBackend"
EMAIL_FILE_PATH = f"{MEDIA_ROOT}/email_out"

View

import os

from django.conf import settings
from django.shortcuts import render

def mailcheck(request):

    path = f"{settings.MEDIA_ROOT}/email_out"
    mail_list = os.listdir(path)

    return render(request, "mailcheck.html", context={"mail_list": mail_list})

Template

{% if mail_list %}
  

  {% for msg in mail_list %}
    

      {{ msg }}
    
  {% endfor %}
  
{% else %}
  No messages found.
{% endif %}

urls

path("mailcheck/", view=mailcheck, name="mailcheck"),
