32633	send_mail must make `from_email` argument optional	Aryan Iyappan	nobody	"the django docs state that, while sending mail, if no from_email is passed, it will use the `DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL`.
source: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/topics/email/
> **from_email**: A string. If None, Django will use the value of the DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL setting.

However, when using the send_mail function, the `from_email` argument is not optional.
A workaround for this right now is this.


{{{
        send_mail(
            subject=subject,
            message=message,
            recipient_list=[self.user.email],
            from_email=None
         )
}}}

giving a default value of `None` to it will resolve this issue.
