Hi Gavin, I've lost track of how many times I've written that exact code when setting up a new box - I just didn't wrap it up as a management command. There's a similar testing cycle with new cache settings.
My only concern would be the one that Tim expressed - that it's ultimately a one line shell command, so it's not a whole lot of gain. However, the counterpoint to that is that you can't just reload settings, so you have to retype (or rely on command history). I agree the benefit is marginal, but I think it's a nice enough convenience, and it's not going to be a major maintenance overhead, so I think it's probably worth including. I also agree with Collin, but on a technicality. I don't think Django needs to provide a general purpose mail-sending utility that could be used in scripts; however, I *do* think that if we're going to provide a test tool, any arguments we provide should match the standard defined by existing tools like sendmail. Effectively, that probably means that someone *could* use this test tool as a general purpose command-line mail tool - but I think that's a happy accident, not a design goal. Yours, Russ Magee %-) On Fri, Feb 27, 2015 at 1:59 AM, Gavin Wahl <gavinw...@gmail.com> wrote: > I opened a ticket for this but was asked to discuss it on the mailing list. > > When configuring django to send emails through an SMTP server, there are > usually many different settings to try to get it to work.
