django email backends
Is it possible to implement django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend in railway?
Trying to use this functionality for user registration email validation feature.
I tested in localhost and its working without any issues. However, when deployed to Railway, upon a new user registration, it just shows the page with "Go to Railway" button.
I am not able to see any error or logs which tells me the issue.
Does anyone know what could be the issue?

N/Acan you provide me a way to replicate this error?
On the registration form, when user clicks on register, the page shows spinning for few seconds and then shows me the railway page
there is no error or message that I can tell you
right but how can i experience this for myself
I can send you the url of the application, and you can try registering or I can send you a picture
send the url please

yes, Inside railway I don't see any logs
it only gives me deployment logs
thats the logs you would want to be looking at

it does not tell me anything
it tell me that the http post request took longer than 30 seconds so the connection was killed, it should never take 30 seconds, so theres an error in your code but you arent logging it
i would recommend you to add more verbose logging so we can find out where the slow down is coming from
ok, I will ask the developer to add logging
but does Railway allow this feature of sending email. I mean, if it is not blocking anything?
of course, this isnt a limitation or issue with railway but a code / config / access issue
ok, thanks. I will come back with more soon.
sounds good
can we address the elephant in the room and mention that smtp server won't work with railway?
or it's not relevant here?
no we cant because they aren't running an smtp server
but quick question what email provider are you using?
I am not sure about it, but I am trying to use django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend
yes but with what email provider?
I mean this thing looks awfully like a server to me tbh
the email is with smtp.dreamhost.com
SMTP Port
465
its an smtp client, what makes you think its an smtp server??
oh nvm that's more likely a client
ofc
yeah
it def is
is there a document that I can follow or if anyone has used it before?
I followed the djago documentation an it works fine in localhost, no issues there
just follow the django docs, sending emails via an smtp client has little to do with railway
with that said, dreamhost could be blocking you
and with that said, you still need verbose logging
ok
I have some pointers now to go back and check
thanks to both of you
