Question

when I post a comment, do not save, crashes (error: [Errno 111] Connection refused), why?

import time
from calendar import month_name

from          


        

Answer 1

additionally the following will help:

put the following minimal settings in the settings.py or local_settings.py file on your server.

EMAIL_HOST = 'localhost'
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True

instead of using smtp.gmail.com which imposes lot many limitations, you can have your own mail server.

you can do it by installing your own mailserver:

sudo apt-get install sendmail

Answer 2

For Development and Testing:

In Django 1.6+ we can just add this line in settings.py

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.console.EmailBackend'

This will display the mail on the console for Easy Verification.

Note: Mail will not be sent to the specified recipient in Msg.Its just for Development and Testing.

For that you need to configure SMTP server which is given in the Doc.
