Sending emails in Django using Mailtrap
We will need to send emails in order to test the password reset module; configuring a mail server is outside the scope of this book and because not all readers are able to configure their own or already have one, we will use a service that allows us to simulate sending emails:
Once a development server is registered and created, we must configure the following variables:
customlogin\settings.py
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.mailtrap.io'
EMAIL_HOST_USER = '<YourUserMailTrap>'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = '<YourPasswordMailTrap>'
EMAIL_PORT = '2525'Which determine the host, user, password and port of the mail server respectively; With this, we are ready for the application to send emails.
