Right there you have your first problem. Emails aren't necessarily sent immediately. What does "sent" mean? Accepted by your server? Received at the target end and not bounced? There are lots of way an email can fail. Further, it can take some time to send email (connection times and so on), even just to a local system. So blocking the web response based on some "success or fail" measure in the email system is a bit fragile. Maybe you've carefully evaluated all the steps in the pipeline and have your risks worked out. I'd consider whether you're really solving the right problem, however. > I want > to remove that email address from the form that I present to them.

How do you do this? Copy the data dictionary: request.POST.copy() is the usual idiom when you want to change something like that. You can't change Django's copy of the data, but you can certainly make your own copy and change that.
