I'm trying to send an email from Django using Gmail SMTP

I've set insecure source ON in my account's setting. Also, this is my settings.py file. Can anybody help me?

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com '
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_HOST_USER =' my email'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'my password'

and I'm getting this error in terminal when I write this code

PS D:\start here\silicium7\config-project> python manage.py sendtestemail [email protected]

This is may be useful for you.

Add DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL in settings.py and test it through python shell:

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com '
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_HOST_USER ='[email protected]'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = '**********'

DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = '[email protected]'

Run python shell:

python manage.py shell
from django.conf import settings
from django.core.mail import send_mail

subject = 'Some subject'
from_email = settings.DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL   
message = 'This is my test message'
recipient_list = ['[email protected]','[email protected]']           
html_message = '<h1>This is my HTML test</h1>'
send_mail(subject, message, from_email, recipient_list, fail_silently=False, html_message=html_message)

If output code is 1 then email sent successfully....
