Django Create Account ends in 550

on a Django application (geonode 2.4) I´m trying to register a new user: me@gmail.com. This ends in ERROR SMTPRecipientsRefused sombody@yahoo.com (550, unknown User).

The same Setup works on a local vm (with same SMTP server)!

SETUP

SMTP local_settings.py

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_USE_SSL = True
EMAIL_HOST = 'mail.example.com'
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'user@mail.example.com'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'pass'
EMAIL_PORT = 25 ## tested telnet to 587 but it seems only 25 is open
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = EMAIL_HOST_USER
THEME_ACCOUNT_CONTACT_EMAIL = 'admin@example.com'

QUESTION

What I do not understand why does Django complain about sombody@yahoo.com when I try to register me@gmail.com? – It should not care about already registered users. How can I debug this?

Solution

  • I found it, what happens here is that 

    ACCOUNT_APPROVAL_REQUIRED = True

    is set. The mentioned yahoo adress is an admin, which should be informed for approval. The Smtp is refusing the adress and throwing the 550.
