.. _multiple-backends:
Mixing email backends
=====================
Since you are replacing Django's global :setting:`EMAIL_BACKEND`, by default
Anymail will handle **all** outgoing mail, sending everything through your ESP.
You can use Django mail's optional :func:`connection <django.core.mail.get_connection>`
argument to send some mail through your ESP and others through a different system.
This could be useful, for example, to deliver customer emails with the ESP,
but send admin emails directly through an SMTP server:
.. code-block:: python
:emphasize-lines: 8,10,13,15
from django.core.mail import send_mail, get_connection
# send_mail connection defaults to the settings EMAIL_BACKEND, which
# we've set to Anymail's MailgunBackend. This will be sent using Mailgun:
send_mail("Thanks", "We sent your order", "sales@example.com", ["customer@example.com"])
# Get a connection to an SMTP backend, and send using that instead:
smtp_backend = get_connection('django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend')
send_mail("Uh-Oh", "Need your attention", "admin@example.com", ["alert@example.com"],
connection=smtp_backend)
# You can even use multiple Anymail backends in the same app:
sendgrid_backend = get_connection('anymail.backends.sendgrid.SendGridBackend')
send_mail("Password reset", "Here you go", "user@example.com", ["noreply@example.com"],
connection=sendgrid_backend)
You can supply a different connection to Django's
:func:`~django.core.mail.send_mail` and :func:`~django.core.mail.send_mass_mail` helpers,
and in the constructor for an
:class:`~django.core.mail.EmailMessage` or :class:`~django.core.mail.EmailMultiAlternatives`.
(See the :class:`django.utils.log.AdminEmailHandler` docs for more information
on Django's admin error logging.)
