Django Email to Outlook Issue

Using Django
1

I’ve already setup the email settings in Django to send out email.
I get this error when trying to send email via outlook.

This is my email setup:
EMAIL_BACKEND = ‘django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend’

EMAIL_HOST = ‘smtp.office365.com’ or ‘smtp-mail.outlook.com’

EMAIL_USE_TLS = True

EMAIL_PORT = 587

EMAIL_HOST_USER = “your email”

EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = “your password”

Anyone can advice on this?

Hi,

There might be a few issues:

  • Are your EMAIL_HOST_USER and EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD correctly specified? Are they the same credentials that you put while configuring your email service?
  • Your provider might have a few conditions, such as 2FA. Read the documentation.
  • Because it says Authentication is unsuccessful, it is most likely that it is because of configuration. Double check your configuration.

Hi Barotov,
I have another question to ask you. You know how to authenticate django via AD which uses local LDAP server on Windows?
