If I want to send email through Django and DotCloud, how should I do

  • 0

If I want to send email through Django and DotCloud, how should I do it?
Should I send it through Django, https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/email/, or DotCloud, http://docs.dotcloud.com/services/smtp/? I want to be able to send out batch emails through the Admin interface in Django. Is django-mailer (won’t let me post link) what I want to send through the admin?

EDIT I:
I guess in general I was curious if anyone had any implementations of SMTP emailing through the Django Admin.

EDIT II: I actually decided to try django-newsletter (won’t let me post link), since I want to send bulk emails to custom lists from the admin.

    I haven’t fully understood the advantage of using dotCloud’s SMTP service.

    I have sent emails using the regular Django way (I put the right hosts, username, etc for a GMail account in settings.py and used the regular functions/classes) and have had no problems.

    I have found admin actions extremely useful. Actions are very easy to write and I am sure it’s possible to write one that sends emails.
