Configuring e-mail settings¶
A Lino site may want to send emails to the outside world in the following situations:
When a exception happens on the server code, we want to inform the site maintainer.
The Lino application may decide to send notification mails to site users. For example all applications that use
lino.modlib.notify
.An end user may use the
lino.modlib.outbox
plugin to explicitly write emails.
Here are the Django settings for sending emails.
- ADMINS¶
The list of the site managers
- EMAIL_HOST¶
The SMTP host that will accept outgoing mails from this site.
