Most email clients would try other methods after the failure, but Python's smtplib just raises SMTPAuthException. This makes sending emails from Django with such servers impossible. The attached patch adds the EMAIL_FORCE_PLAIN_AUTH setting which, if True, forces the use of the PLAIN method in django.core.mail.SMTPConnection.open()." closed Core (Mail) 1.0 wontfix authentication email smtp Unreviewed 0 0 0 0 0 0
