django & send_mail in docker leads to SMTPServerDisconnected

I setup a google email backend for django and all is working fine until i run the whole stuff in docker-compose containers.

SMTPServerDisconnected at /events/register/4/
please run connect() first
Request Method: GET
Request URL:    http://192.168.99.100:80/events/register/4/
Django Version: 1.11.3
Exception Type: SMTPServerDisconnected

please run connect() first
Exception Location: /usr/local/lib/python3.6/smtplib.py in send, line 359

 '/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages',
 '/app']
Server time:    Tue, 25 Jul 2017 11:07:45 +0200

Any idea what's going wrong here? Why is it disconnecting in a container?

Just figured it out: In the docker-compose.yml i have something like this:

env_file:
  - ".env"

The content of the .env was:

key = value

This runs great on a local machine loading the .env file first. However docker needs a more strict format:

key=value

No spaces!!

The error was that my EMAIL_* settings wasn't set correctly with spaced key/value pairs
