How to get the user email after deletion in Django?

Question

I was working with the settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL and I want the email of the user to remain( after the user deleted). The user is a foreign key in my model. Here is the code

class Text(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=45)
    text = models.TextField()
    user= models.ForeignKey(
        settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL,
        on_delete=models.SET(??) )  # TODO : should change( remain email from the deleted user)

Try this:

user= models.ForeignKey(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, on_delete=models.DO_NOTHING)

That saves the deleted user's foreignkey.
