In Django, sending emails is implemented using the built-in module django.core.mail. The main steps:

  1. Configure email settings in settings.py:
EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.example.com'
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'your_email@example.com'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'your_password'
  1. Send an email using the send_mail function:
from django.core.mail import send_mail

send_mail(
    'Subject of the email',
    'Message text',
    'from@example.com',
    ['to@example.com'],
    fail_silently=False,
)
  1. Use the EmailMessage class for more flexible emails:
from django.core.mail import EmailMessage

email = EmailMessage(
    'Subject',
    'Email text',
    'from@example.com',
    ['to@example.com'],
)
email.send()

Thus, it is enough to configure the SMTP server and use Django's built-in functions to send emails.
