Django email backend which invokes system `sendmail` binary.

cr-sendmail-django

Django email backend which invokes system sendmail binary.

Usage

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

This package uses Python logging to logger named cr-sendmail-django. To see log output, configure Django logging.

Compatibility with django_sendmail_backend

This package also provides a compatible django_sendmail_backend package, as a drop-in replacement for existing sites without modification.

EMAIL_BACKEND = "django_sendmail_backend.backends.EmailBackend"

Credits

This package is a replacement for django_sendmail_backend, supported by CodeRed.
