Django emailing on errors

Question

I have been struggling to get the emailing to work in Django for logging as well as for 500 and 404 errors and for the life of me I cant get it to work. I have DEBUG=F

Answer 1

Yep, it's not ADMINS = () that receives SEND_BROKEN_LINK_EMAILS, it's MANAGERS = ()

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/settings/#managers

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/error-reporting/#errors

Add this right under ADMINS and it should work:

MANAGERS = ADMINS

You may also want to specify EMAIL_BACKEND in settings, e.g. assuming SMTP:

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