Another approach is to use a "dumb" SMTP server that receives the emails
locally and displays them to the terminal, but does not actually send
anything. Python has a built-in way to accomplish this with a single command::
anything. The `aiosmtpd`_ package provides a way to accomplish this::
python -m smtpd -n -c DebuggingServer localhost:1025
python -m pip install aiosmtpd
This command will start a minimal SMTP server listening on port 1025 of
python -m aiosmtpd -n -l localhost:8025
This command will start a minimal SMTP server listening on port 8025 of
localhost. This server prints to standard output all email headers and the
email body. You then only need to set the :setting:`EMAIL_HOST` and
:setting:`EMAIL_PORT` accordingly. For a more detailed discussion of SMTP
server options, see the Python documentation for the :mod:`smtpd` module.
