Django Doesn't Send Email Notifications

Question

Working on a contact form and i am not able to receive the emails from Django into my Inbox.

This is my function:

def contact(request):
    if request.method == 'GET':
        form = ContactForm()
    else:
        form = ContactForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            contact_name = form.cleaned_data['contact_name']
            contact_phone = form.cleaned_data['contact_phone']
            contact_period = form.cleaned_data['contact_period']
            subject = contact_name + " | " + contact_phone + " | " + contact_period

            content = form.cleaned_data['content']
            contact_email = form.cleaned_data['contact_email']
            try:
                send_mail(subject,content,contact_email, ['office@cohen.ro'])
            except BadHeaderError:
                return HttpResponse('Invalid header found.')
            return redirect('success')
    return render(request, "contact.html", {'form': form})

def success(request):
    return HttpResponse('Success! Thank you for your message.')

These are my server's settings:

Secure SSL/TLS Settings (Recommended)
Username:   office@cohen.ro
Password:   Use the email account’s password.
Incoming Server:    mail.cohen.ro
IMAP Port: 993 POP3 Port: 995
Outgoing Server:    mail.cohen.ro
SMTP Port: 465

This is what i have in my Django settings: LATEREDIT: I have commented the console and have now this line of code, but doesnt submit the email.

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'

#EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.console.EmailBackend'
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = 'office@cohen.ro'
EMAIL_HOST= 'mail.cohen.ro'
EMAIL_HOST_USER= 'office@cohen.ro'
EMAIl_HOST_PASSWORD='mypass'
EMAIL_PORT = 465
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True

In my server i can see the message, but does not send the email to my email address so i dont know if someone is asking me something. Thank you!

Any help, would be much appreciated!

Answer 1

So, the issue was due to the fact that TLS was true and needed to be False ----EMAIL_USE_TLS = False

Now is submitting emails.
