I confused myself with my first attempt at using this function by doing something like: {{{ ('test', 'testmsg', 'noreply@coursebookapp.com', ('snagglepants@gmail.com', 'gtaylor@l11solutions.com')) }}} I thought that the documentation was saying that connections were made to the server for each and every recipient in send_mail(), which is not the case. So I took my arguments from send_mail() and constructed a datatuple for send_mass_mail(), since that re-used the same connection. As silly as I later found it was to do this, I think it's worth pointing out the usage of datatuple explicitly so that people can draw this conclusion for themselves. The patch suggests that send_mass_mail() can be used to send multiple, completely arbitrary emails to one or more completely different set of recipients. I also show that you need a tuple of tuples, rather than a single datatuple.",,closed,Documentation,dev,,fixed,,,Accepted,1,0,0,0,0,0
