Recently, I came across an issue while working with Flask-Security where the confirmation email was not being sent successfully. After some troubleshooting, I managed to resolve it by removing a specific line in flask_security/utils.py. The problematic line was 387, which I deleted to ensure that flask-mail uses the mail sender from app.config.
386: msg = Message(subject,
387: sender=_security.email_sender,
388: recipients=[recipient])
Prior to making this modification, the code would encounter a failure in flask_mail.py at line 105 within the sanitize_address method. This was due to the incoming address being just a single string instead of a tuple.
102: def sanitize_address(addr, encoding='utf-8'):
103: if isinstance(addr, string_types):
104: addr = parseaddr(force_text(addr))
105: nm, addr = addr
I am seeking advice on how to avoid having to adjust flask_security/utils.py every time I install. It seems like there may be a configuration step missing, although I couldn't pinpoint it from the limited documentation provided by flask-security.
Thank you for your assistance. Here is an example of my application:
