CodePudding user response：

Simple spelling mistake.

EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'
EMAIL_HOST_USER = '<youremail>@gmail.com'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = ''
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_USE_SSL = False

Host, not hosts, no plural here.

It gets rejected because the config is wrong.

It couldn't find an EMAIL_HOST_USER ->

Tries to connect to google with webmaster@localhost, as seen above ->

Obviously google rejects it.

Note

Gmail does not allow you to just send emails from any server. You have to allow it.

Have a look at the following tutorial if you run into any more issues: https://dev.to/abderrahmanemustapha/how-to-send-email-with-django-and-gmail-in-production-the-right-way-24ab
