24475	Add a new testconnections management command	Loek van Gent	Alex Morozov	"Add a management command to check connection to mail server (without actually sending emails). This command can be extended later with testing other connections like caching ad maybe other settings.

Here's a snippet that would test a smtp connection

{{{
from django.core import mail
from django.core.mail.backends.smtp import EmailBackend

    def _check_mail_settings(self):
        connection = mail.get_connection()
        if isinstance(connection, EmailBackend):
            connection.open()
}}}
