.. note::



   In order to send e-mail, Django requires a few settings telling it

   how to connect to your mail server. At the very least, you'll need

   to specify :setting:`EMAIL_HOST` and possibly

   :setting:`EMAIL_HOST_USER` and :setting:`EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD`,

   though other settings may be also required depending on your mail

   server's configuration. Consult :ref:`the Django settings

   documentation <ref-settings>` for a full list of email-related

   settings.



By default, Django will send email from root@localhost. However, some mail

providers reject all email from this address. To use a different sender

address, modify the :setting:`SERVER_EMAIL` setting.
