Note 1: When posting code, errors, templates, traceback message, etc here, enclose the text between lines of three backtick - ` characters. This means you’ll have a line of ```, then the code (or whatever), then another line of ```. This forces the forum software to keep your code properly formatted. (I’ve taken the liberty of editing your original post to fix this.)

Note 2: When posting an issue, please do not use generic titles that don’t describe the issue. Again, I’ve fixed this one for you.

Please post your view that is causing this error, along with the email-related settings from your settings.py file. (Remember to blank out the password.)

I think the problem is in the method: send_mail.send() in my views.py file, and I can’t find my error
