📨 Django mails. Supercharged.

Overview

django-nitro-mailer is a pluggable Django app that provides extra email reliability and observability in form of email backends that can be used with Django's built-in functions and other email backend.

django-nitro-mailer by itself does not provide a way to send emails, but it puts an extra layer before the email backend to provide extra features like:

• priority queueing
• retrying failed emails
• logging and traces
• email throttling
• sending messages through the admin panel

Requirements

• Python >= 3.12, < 3.14
• Django >= 5.2, < 6.1

Installation

Install the package using pip:

$ pip install django-nitro-mailer

Usage

1. Add django_nitro_mailer to your INSTALLED_APPS in your settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    "django_nitro_mailer",
    ...
]

2. Run python manage.py migrate to create the necessary tables.

3. Change the EMAIL_BACKEND setting in your settings.py to use the desired backend:

• Database Backend: Store emails in the database and send them asynchronously. Requires sending a cron job or some other scheduled task to send the emails.

EMAIL_BACKEND = "django_nitro_mailer.backends.DatabaseBackend"

• Sync Backend: Send emails synchronously. Does not provide the reliability that the database backend provides, but still provides the logging and throttling features.

EMAIL_BACKEND = "django_nitro_mailer.backends.SyncBackend"
