Sender Address rejected. Django + webfaction email

The code I am using is what I found on webfaction

EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.webfaction.com'
EMAIL_HOST_USER = '<mailbox name>'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = '<mailbox pass>'
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = '<email address>'
SERVER_EMAIL = '<email address>'

I keep on getting the error SMTPRecipientsRefused

Sender address rejected: need fully-qualified address

Solution

  • I figured out the problem, it was not in the settings, the settings are correct, it was while sending the actual email in views.py I used a different email address in the from_email field.
