Errno 10060 A connection attempt failed
<pre><code>EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'

EMAIL_HOST='smtp.gmail.com'

EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = '###'
DEFAULT_EMAIL_FROM = 'yogi@gmail.com'
</code></pre>

<p>above are the settings for django core mail module. I am using its send_mail to send mails to users. When i try to build the program with the gmail smtp it throws the following error </p>

<blockquote>
  <p>'Errno 10060 A connection attempt failed because the connected party
  did not properly respond after a period of time, or established
  connection failed because connected host has failed to respond'.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>I am doing this in my company and so it has proxy settings. I have given the proxy credentials in .condarc settings file. But still the connection timeout error. Do i need to set the proxy settings somewhere else or let me know where i am going wrong. ?</p>
