I want to use flask mail in my webapp and I am gettin error that I don't really understand. Been following guidelines and can't get it to work. In the following proccess I want app to send email to new registered user.
Config:
MAIL_SERVER='smtp.gmail.com',
MAIL_PORT=465,
MAIL_USE_SSL=True,
MAIL_USE_TLS=False,
MAIL_USERNAME = '[email protected]',
MAIL_PASSWORD = '******'
View:
from flask_mail import Mail, Message
mail = Mail(app)
@app.route("/send_mail/")
def send_mail():
msg = Message('Hello', sender = '[email protected]', recipients = ['[email protected]'])
msg.body = "This is the email body"
mail.send(msg)
Error I am getting:

Any ideas?
Your settings in your config file seem to have a trailing comma, which would make them tuples. Flask-Mail is complaining that the host value passed in to getaddrinfo is not a string - it's most likely a tuple.
Removing the trailing commas may fix this issue.
