cr-sendmail-django

Django email backend which invokes system sendmail binary.

Usage

Install via pip:

pip install cr-sendmail-django

In your Django settings, set the email backend:

EMAIL_BACKEND = "cr_sendmail.backends.SendmailBackend"

You can also specify a path to the sendmail binary:

SENDMAIL_BINARY = "/path/to/sendmail"

NOTE: this package does not send mail on its own. It requires a fully configured Mail Transport Agent (MTA) on your server. Only use this package if you have configured an MTA such as exim, postfix, etc. on your server. CodeRed Cloud hosting does provide a fully functional MTA with paid plans; however other providers such as AWS, Azure, Digital Ocean, Heroku, etc. do not by default.

Logging
