Sending emails in Django using Mailtrap
We will use the Mailtrap service to send test messages, we will configure Mailtrap and the Django app to test password recovery.
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.
