How to send e-mail in django ?
In django we can send e-mail using SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) service which is inbuilt package in python and also in django.
What is smtp ?
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is service that provides service to send, receive, and or relay outgoing mail between senders and receivers.
SMTP service takes your client email address(you can also give multiple email address) which you are using and it is formatted as smtp.gmail.com because let's take and example Gmails SMTP server address is smtp.gmail.com, and Twilio Send Grids is smtp.sendgrid.com. You can generally find your SMTP server address in the account or settings section of your mail client.
