I am using djangos's send_email function for sending emails to users. Below are my settings.

from django.core.mail import send_mail

EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'mymail@gmail.com'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD='password+' 
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'
EMAIL_PORT = 587

This is working fine on local this error env but not on heroku. It is showing:SMTPAuthenticationError

What do you mean – Devender Shekhawat May 23 '17 at 16:41
I tend to use a 3rd party sender like SparkPost (https://www.sparkpost.com/) – Tomatohater May 23 '17 at 17:24
@DevenderShekhawat under your google account have you selected the setting to "allow less secure app access"? – Ben May 23 '17 at 17:41
