django-database-email-backend is a simple email backend for django that delivers emails to the database. All sent emails can be reviewed and searched in admin. This can be practical while developing where the console backend can't be used (e.g on a development or staging server).
Note
Currently only the plaintext part of the email and the attachments are saved accessable. Future versions of django-database-email-backend will also display alternative content, especially html.
Installation:
pip install django-database-email-backend
Add database_email_backend
to INSTALLED_APPS
and run manage.py syncdb
or
manage.py migrate django_database_email_backend
if you are using South.
Add the email backend setting:
EMAIL_BACKEND = 'database_email_backend.backend.DatabaseEmailBackend'
