Configuring SMTP

Edit the local_settings.py file.

Specifically set all the MAIL_... settings to match your SMTP settings

Note that Google's SMTP server requires the configuration of "less secure apps". See https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255?hl=en

Note that Yahoo's SMTP server requires the configuration of "Allow apps that use less secure sign in". See https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN27791.html

flask run --host=0.0.0.0

Point your web browser to http://your_ip:5000/
