New description:
I am not sure if it's a bug or not, but I mark it as that since I am just
following the docs for setting up the Email Backend.
I get the Exception ''ModuleNotFoundError at /password/reset/ No module
named 'smtp' '' when I just try to send an Email using the function
send_mail.
Here is what I am using:
* Ubuntu 22.04
* Python 3.11.4
* Django 4.2.2
* EMAIL_BACKEND = "django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend"
An here is the complete traceback.
