I have these settings

EMAIL_HOST = 'smtpout.secureserver.net'
EMAIL_HOST_USER = '[email protected]'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'password'
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = '[email protected]'
SERVER_EMAIL = '[email protected]'
EMAIL_PORT = 465
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
SMTP_SSL = True

Speaking to Godaddy I have found out these are the ports and settings

smtpout.secureserver.net
ssl
465587
TLS ON3535
TLS ON25
TLS ON80
TLS ON
or
TLS OFF

I have tried all the combinations. If I set TLS to True I am getting

STARTTLS extension not supported by the server.

If I set to 465 I am getting

If I set other combinations like

EMAIL_HOST = 'smtpout.secureserver.net'
EMAIL_HOST_USER = '[email protected]'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'password'
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = '[email protected]'
SERVER_EMAIL = '[email protected]'
EMAIL_PORT = 25
EMAIL_USE_TLS = False

For verification, I used Google Mail settings to test if the email sending via python works, and it is working.

Now I want to switch to GoDaddy and I know for the email we use TLS to log in even for POP3 download and it is working, so I am not sure why python / Django option is not working. Can you please help?

I have called Godaddy, they cannot help because it is a software issue - all their settings and ports are working, so I have no one to ask.

This worked for me with my GoDaddy email. Since GoDaddy sets up your email in Office365, you can use smtp.office365.com.

settings.py

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.office365.com'
EMAIL_HOST_USER = '[email protected]'
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = EMAIL_HOST_USER
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'myPassword'
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_USE_SSL = False
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True

method in views.py that handles sending email. The email variable is from a user form.

from django.conf import settings
from django.core.mail import EmailMessage
def send_email(subject, body, email):try:email_msg = EmailMessage(subject, body, settings.EMAIL_HOST_USER, [settings.EMAIL_HOST_USER], reply_to=[email])email_msg.send()return "Message sent :)"except:return "Message failed, try again later :("
