Bug Description

Under settings tab, after selecting add email address option.
If any email id is entered for saving
The following error arises

AttributeError at /postorius/users/address_activation/
'Settings' object has no attribute 'EMAIL_CONFIRMATION_FROM'

After looking into it, the error seems to be in models.py file under postorius.

The line containing error(http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mailman-coders/postorius/trunk/view/head:/src/postorius/models.py#L294)

Adding self.mail solves the problem

getattr(settings, 'EMAIL_CONFIRMATION_FROM', self.mail)

Tried after editing the line and got Email address activation sent message on the screen

Attaching a patch

settings.EMAIL_CONFIRMATION_FROM is supposed to contain the general From-Address for email confirmations. self.email in this context however contains the new address someone wants to add to a Mailman user record -- which means the confirmation email would come from the same address it has been sent from.

I think a better fallback for settings.EMAIL_CONFIRMATION_FROM could be settings.DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL which is suggested as a general Email-`from`-default in the Django docs. If both don't exist it's probably best to raise Django's `ImproperlyConfigured` exception. This will still raise a 500 if settings.DEBUG == False, but the traceback sent to the Admins will be much more meaningful and will alert them to check the configuration rather than looking for a bug in the code.

Typo in 1st paragraph: "the confirmation email would come from the same address it has been sent *to*"

I have attached a patch, now it raises ImproperlyConfigured error instead of the AttributeError.
Added the following code.

mail_from=getattr(settings, 'EMAIL_CONFIRMATION_FROM', getattr(settings, 'DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL', 'NONE'))
if(mail_from == 'NONE'):
raise ImproperlyConfigured("Configurations have not been done properly, EMAIL_CONFIRMATION_FROM or DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL value(s) have not been set")

Hi pranav,

Sorry for the late reply but I think this bug is duplicated.

Hello Ashish,

Actually my name is Pavan, well I didn't come across your bug report while filing mine so may be that's why duplication occurred. I didn't find any option to mark the bug as duplicate and redirect it to your bug report. I think it will be better that I attach my patch and branch to your bug report as you had filed the report before me.
