> 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.
This wouldn't be useful to me at all. For one, it only is defined for an SMTP backend. Also, I wouldn't trust that a successful connection means that the configuration is correct. I've seen circumstances, especially if sending through a local sendmail, that will result in a successful connection but there is still a misconfiguration. I expect this command to work with any email backend and to actually do a complete, end-to-end test of the configuration. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers (Contributions to Django itself)" group.
