SMTP setting for Drupal, Django, and WordPress

Drupal, Django, and WordPress are using localhost as SMTP server by default. But there is a way to use another SMTP server to send email.

• Django: Mail is sent using the SMTP host and port specified in the EMAIL_HOST{.reference.internal} and EMAIL_PORT{.reference.internal} settings. The EMAIL_HOST_USER{.reference.internal} and EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD{.reference.internal} settings, if set, are used to authenticate to the SMTP server, and the EMAIL_USE_TLS{.reference.internal} and EMAIL_USE_SSL{.reference.internal}settings control whether a secure connection is used. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/topics/email/

• Drupal: install SMTP Authentication Support

• WordPress: WP Mail SMTP https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/
