I've found a workaround which is to have it fail silently.

def email_out():
    email = EmailMessage("subject", "message", "sender@domain.com",
"recipient@domain.com")
    email.send(fail_silently=True)

Haven't tried it myself, but it was recommended in another issue the following:

I realized after submitting this that the registration form works correctly if 
the
server is started with

python manage.py runserver --enable_sendmail

Maybe a more explicit message should be given in the event of an
SMTPServerDisconnected exception?

Cheers,
