I have Used Django EmailMessage function . Here is views.py file.
def send_bill_mail(request):
context_dict={
"name": "abc"
}
html_message = render_to_string('home/email_templates/bill_generation.html', context_dict)
try:
email = EmailMessage(
' Welcome to store',
html_message,
to=['abc#gmail.com']
)
email.content_subtype = "html"
email.send()
except Exception as e:
messages.error(request,"Something Went Wrong !")
return redirect('home:dashboard')
Here Is settings.py
EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'xyz#gmail.com'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'xyz'

This issue generally happens when you run project locally , may be you should try hosting it somewhere on internet
or
Using connections can solve your problem like below
def send_bill_mail(request):
context_dict={
"name": "abc"
}
html_message = render_to_string('home/email_templates/bill_generation.html', context_dict)
email_list = []
try:
email = EmailMessage(
' Welcome to store',
html_message,
to=['abc#gmail.com']
)
email.content_subtype = "html"
email_list.append(email)
connection = mail.get_connection()
connection.send_messages(email_list)
except Exception as e:
messages.error(request,"Something Went Wrong !")
return redirect('home:dashboard')
