## 15. Debugging email issues
|
||||
On the [Configuration](https://github.com/mediacms-io/mediacms/blob/main/docs/admins_docs.md#5-configuration) section of this guide we've see how to edit the email settings.
|
||||
In case we are yet unable to receive email from MediaCMS, the following may help us debug the issue - in most cases it is an issue of setting the correct username, password or TLS option
|
||||
|
||||
Enter the Django shell, example if you're using the Single Server installation:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
source /home/mediacms.io/bin/activate
|
||||
python manage.py shell
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
and inside the shell
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
from django.core.mail import EmailMessage
|
||||
from django.conf import settings
|
||||
|
||||
settings.EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
|
||||
|
||||
email = EmailMessage(
|
||||
'title',
|
||||
'msg',
|
||||
settings.DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL,
|
||||
['recipient@email.com'],
|
||||
)
|
||||
email.send(fail_silently=False)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You have the chance to either receive the email (in this case it will be sent to recipient@email.com) otherwise you will see the error.
|
||||
For example, while specifying wrong password for my Gmail account I get
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
SMTPAuthenticationError: (535, b'5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted. Learn more at\n5.7.8 https://support.google.com/mail/?p=BadCredentials d4sm12687785wrc.34 - gsmtp')
|
||||
```
