That is possibly an error when it is sending the email validation email. Check your mail settings. On Feb 2, 2020, 12:43 AM -0800, Maha notifications@github.com, wrote:

Yes i found out that the issue was that the email is not being sent. even in another tuitorial project the django is showing the same error.. i'm doubting its my proxy.. is there a way i can let nadine knows that my pc is behind a proxy?

The Django Project has extensive documentation on how to configure your server for sending emails.
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/topics/email/ https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/ref/settings/#std:setting-EMAIL_HOST

I've changed this bug to represent the red herring error message caused by improperly configured mail settings.

i have found the solution so i thought i would share it in case someone come across a similar error. basically the smtp code had to be wrapped in http socket since my company gateway server is http.

step 1: go to the resolv.conf file and add

nameserver <your proxy server IP address here>
nameserver 8.8.4.4
nameserver 8.8.8.8

step 2: after finishing installing nadine, source the nadine virtual enviroment and then install PySocks using pip command

step 3: edit the smtp.py file located in /home/nadine/lib/python3.7/site-packages/django/core/mail/backends add these three lines in the code

import socks

under the EmailBackend(BaseEmailBackend) class

socks.setdefaultproxy(socks.HTTP, '<your proxy server ip address here>', <your por here>) socks.wrapmodule(smtplib)

i hope this could be helpful for others.
