Hi..

I am getting the following error- [Errno 2] No such file or directory in the the following line... 43. ps = Popen(["sendmail"]+list(email_message.recipients()), \ 44. stdin=PIPE)

Any suggestions please

If your system has 'mail' instead of sendmail, this works at line 43 just inside the try:

        args = ['mail']+list(email_message.recipients())
        args += ['-s',email_message.subject]
        ps = Popen(args, stdin=PIPE)

Btw the threading.lock is just pointless for this backend -- I think this code was copied from the SmtpBackend which requires this lock.

You might be interested in my pull request to get this merged into the django-sendmail-backend package, and/or the package in general.

I copied the code to my project and I'm getting the following : 'Module' object is not callable btw I'm using django 1.9
