Another approach is to use a "dumb" SMTP server that receives the emails
|
|
|
locally and displays them to the terminal, but does not actually send
|
|
|
-anything. Python has a built-in way to accomplish this with a single command::
|
|
|
+anything. The `aiosmtpd`_ package provides a way to accomplish this::
|
|
|
|
|
|
- python -m smtpd -n -c DebuggingServer localhost:1025
|
|
|
+ python -m pip install aiosmtpd
|
|

|
|

-This command will start a minimal SMTP server listening on port 1025 of

+This command will start a minimal SMTP server listening on port 8025 of

localhost. This server prints to standard output all email headers and the

email body. You then only need to set the :setting:`EMAIL_HOST` and
|
|
|
:setting:`EMAIL_PORT` accordingly. For a more detailed discussion of SMTP
