I had exactly the same problem, but I solved it by setting up my settings.py just like skulegirl says, and just add this to my settings.py

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

I hope it helps you.

Your code repo is configured to use the console backend for emails, but your backtrace is showing the smtp backend is being used. I assume you've changed the backend and that's what's causing the error.

By default, the smtp backend looks for an smtp server on localhost. I'm guessing you don't have one running there.

If you want to send via gmail's smtp servers you can do so, you just need to configure the approriate settings in your settings.py file. See the django docs for what needs to be configured. Read the gmail docs for the exact smtp host address to use.

Hi, may be you have some example of django project with celery? That would be very helpfull to me. For now i deal with that error , but i want to know how to sent emails to real people.

The error you were getting was completely independent of using celery. Your config in your repo looks good, just make sure to add the required smtp host info to your settings.conf file, and then you should be able to send mail regardless of whether through celery or directly from your app.
