[Chicago] Getting Pinax to send mail

[Jonathan Hayward]

I'm trying to get my Pinax project to send mail by connecting to 10.0.0.1
port 25 (I have hand-tested that I can send emails this way.)

I have in my settings.py:

DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = 'Orthodox Network <christos at pobox.com>'
EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
EMAIL_HOST = '10.0.0.1'
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'christos at pobox.com'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = ''
EMAIL_PORT = 25
EMAIL_USE_TLS = False
EMAIL_SUBJECT_PREFIX = '[Orthodox Network]'


The email backend is quoted from web snippets, but I think my 0.7 project
is out of sync with the EMAIL_BACKEND.

I can successfully import 'django.core.mail' from the virtualenv/python
manage.py shell, but I cannot import 'django.core.mail.backends', and a dir
on the imported module does not make it obvious where the EmailBackend
would have been moved to. I found a snippet at
http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/1864/ that looked promising--until I
looked at the imports and saw that it imports a submodule of
django.core.mail.backends.

Any suggestions on how I can make a python manage.py send_mail shoot over
the messages to the server?

The following, from virtualenv/python manage.py shell, successfully sent me
a test message:

>>> from django.core.mail import send_mail
>>> send_mail('Subject here', 'Here is the message.',
... 'jonathan.hayward at pobox.com', ['christos at pobox.com'], fail_silently =
False)
1


And a password reset with an EMAIL_BACKEND of 'django.core.mail.send_mail'
/ 'django.core.mail' didn't leave anything in my inbox.

What should I do?
