django-rq-email-backend

Requirements

• Django
• RQ
• Django-RQ

Installation

• Install django-rq-email-backend:

pip install django-rq-email-backend

• Add django_rq to INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    # other apps
    'django_rq_email_backend',
)

You must then set django_rq_email_backend as your EMAIL_BACKEND:

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django_rq_email_backend.backends.RQEmailBackend'

By default django-rq-email-backend will use Django's builtin SMTP email backend for the actual sending of the mail. If you'd like to use another backend, you may set it in RQ_EMAIL_BACKEND just like you would normally have set EMAIL_BACKEND before you were using RQ. In fact, the normal installation procedure will most likely be to get your email working using only Django, then change EMAIL_BACKEND to RQ_EMAIL_BACKEND, and then add the new EMAIL_BACKEND setting from above.
