Setting up Email sending

Smarty allows you to send emails via SMTP during certain events, such as: sending notifications to subscribers (for connecting packets, reminders about payments, etc.), alarm in case of accidents (triggers in the monitoring module).

To send a letter, you need to specify the data for connecting to the SMTP server in the Smarty configuration file:

• DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL — the address in the “From” field in the default service emails sent. Data type: string.
• SERVER_EMAIL — the same value as in DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL.
• EMAIL_HOST — SMTP server address. Data type: string.
• EMAIL_PORT — SMTP server port. Data type: int.
• EMAIL_HOST_USER — user name. Data type: string.
• EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD — password. Data type: string.
• EMAIL_USE_TLS — the flag depending on which TLS encryption protocol will be enabled or not. Data type: bool. By default True true.

Example of settings:

DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = 'robot@example.com'
SERVER_EMAIL = 'robot@example.com'
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.example.com'
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'robot@example.com'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'z272LOCXmZdQ01yK'
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True

Efficiency check

To debug the sending of letters, you can use the following script. Start shell (root privileges required):

smarty_manage shell --settings=settings.smarty

Instead setting.smarty please specify your configuration file if it is different.

In the open shell, execute the script:

from django.core.mail import send_mail
send_mail("test", "message", None, ["mail@example.com])

The last team will send a letter to the specified address. If successful, code 1 will be returned.
