Django and authenticated smtp

March 22nd, 2006 · 1 Comment

Handshake I just sent off my first patch for Django. It adds the ability to send mail via SMTP servers which require authentication. I need this for Dreamhost, which has authentication on its mail servers.

The modifications were simple, and the code I was modifying was refreshingly clean. Better yet, the Django project site gives easy and clear instructions about how to contribute. So, I’m feeling very good about the project, the ease of contributing, and the maturity of the code.

Update (next day): They accepted the patch and merged it into the trunk of the dev version. I updated SVN and it is all there. That is the fastest response ever for one of my patches to be accepted into a public open-source project!

    Thanks for the patch! I’ve committed your Django improvement to the development version (trunk).
