django EMAIL_BACKEND console

The EMAIL_BACKEND setting in Django allows you to specify the backend that Django should use for sending emails. In this case, the console backend is being used.

  1. First, open the Django project's settings file (usually named settings.py).

  2. Look for the EMAIL_BACKEND setting. It should be a variable defined in the settings module.

  3. Set the value of EMAIL_BACKEND to 'django.core.mail.backends.console.EmailBackend'.

  4. Save the changes made to the settings file.

By setting the EMAIL_BACKEND to 'django.core.mail.backends.console.EmailBackend', Django will now send emails to the console instead of actually sending them to the intended recipients. This is useful during development or testing when you don't want to send actual emails, but still want to see the content of the emails that would have been sent.

When the console backend is used, Django will print the contents of the email, including the subject, sender, recipient, and the body, to the console instead of actually sending it. This allows you to easily see the email content without actually sending it to any real recipients.

That's it! With the EMAIL_BACKEND set to console, Django will now print the email content to the console instead of sending it out.
