Because, as JJO stated, the code you show is NOT what Django does when
establishing a secure email connection. The code you showed
establishes an SSL connection to the email server. The
smtplib.SMTP_SSL method you show is a feature new in Python 2.6.
Django still supports Python 2.5, so cannot use this method. The older
way of establishing a secure connection to an email server is to begin
with a non-encrypted connection and upgrade it to secure via the
STARTTLS command. This is what Django does when you specify
EMAIL_USE_TLS=True. Gmail doc notes that for the TLS/STARTTLS case,
you need to use port 587:
