Django e-mail backends for App Engine
=====================================

This repository provides two Django e-mail backends for App Engine.
The e-mail backends allow you to use native Django functions for
sending e-mails on App Engine.

To use pluggable e-mail backends you'll have to use a most recent
version of Django. Support for pluggable e-mail backends was
introduced in rev11709 and will be released in Django 1.2.


Using the e-mail backend
------------------------

To use the e-mail backend for App Engine copy the
appengine_emailbackend directory to the top-level of you App Engine
application project and add the following line to your settings.py:

  EMAIL_BACKEND = 'appengine_emailbackend'

If you prefer asynchronous e-mail delivery use this line in your
settings.py instead:

  EMAIL_BACKEND = 'appengine_emailbackend.async'

When using the async backends e-mails will not be sent immediately but
queued to a taskqueue.


Running the demo application
----------------------------

There's also a demo application included in this repository. Run this
application using

  dev_appserver.py .

and open http://localhost:8080 in your web browser.

Remember to include a current checkout of the Django SVN repository in
the top-level directory of the demo application.
