This document will guide you through the installation process and initial setup of the django-nitro-mailer .

Requirements

Before you begin, make sure your environment meets the following requirements:

• Python 3.12+
• Django 5.2+

Installing the Package

Install the package using pip:

$ pip install django-nitro-mailer

Usage

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

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

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

• 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"
