Django 500 error emails not going out...

leehinde

As I was setting up my django app I was getting 500 errors (now fixed - Yay!).

But I didn't receive the 500 error emails that one typically does. Do I need to do something to enable the django app to send outgoing emails? I'm using Sparkpost as my mail server and the credentials are correct. But Sparkpost isn't seeing them.

leehinde external mail providers should just work, all you need is the correct config in your project settings.

If your app doesn't seem to be sending mail as expected then try sending mail via the management shell, eg:

cd ~/apps/appname
source env/bin/activate
cd myproject
python manage.py shell

Then do this basic Django email example. You might get an error message that helps.

You can also check your app log at ~/logs/apps/appname/uwsgi.log for errors.

sean The test with send_mail worked, of course. :-)

The 500 errors weren't showing up in the /logs/app/myapp/uwsgi.log

leehinde Do you have everything set up as described under the doc for ADMINS?

leehinde

sean Yes,
ADMINS = ( ('Lee Hinde', 'me@me.com'), )
