Hello,
I've written couple of time similar command for my project too.
But if I take a step back, these commands (for my projects) are
only here to test that my SMTP settings are well setup. Thus,
the test sending email is quite unnecessary, I would like a check
that connects to the SMTP server (if the emails settings are
setup else do nothing) when the application starts.
(I don't know if there's something like saying to a SMTP server:
am I allowed here? without sending an actual email)
Have a good day

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 %-)

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. I've written a management command that just sends an email
to make testing the settings easier. I'm wonder if there's any
interest in including this command in django?
Here's the command:
