.. _anymail-exceptions:
Exceptions
----------
.. module:: anymail.exceptions
.. exception:: AnymailUnsupportedFeature
If the email tries to use features that aren't supported by the ESP, the send
call will raise an :exc:`!AnymailUnsupportedFeature` error, and the message
won't be sent. See :ref:`unsupported-features`.
You can disable this exception (ignoring the unsupported features and
sending the message anyway, without them) by setting
:setting:`ANYMAIL_IGNORE_UNSUPPORTED_FEATURES` to `True`.
.. exception:: AnymailRecipientsRefused
Raised when *all* recipients (to, cc, bcc) of a message are invalid or rejected by
your ESP *at send time.* See :ref:`recipients-refused`.
You can disable this exception by setting :setting:`ANYMAIL_IGNORE_RECIPIENT_STATUS`
to `True` in your settings.py, which will cause Anymail to treat any
non-:exc:`AnymailAPIError` response from your ESP as a successful send.
.. exception:: AnymailAPIError
If the ESP's API fails or returns an error response, the send call will
raise an :exc:`!AnymailAPIError`.
The exception's :attr:`status_code` and :attr:`response` attributes may
help explain what went wrong. (Tip: you may also be able to check the API log in
your ESP's dashboard. See :ref:`troubleshooting`.)
In production, it's not unusual for sends to occasionally fail due to transient
connectivity problems, ESP maintenance, or other operational issues. Typically
these failures have a 5xx :attr:`status_code`. See :ref:`transient-errors`
for suggestions on retrying these failed sends.
.. exception:: AnymailInvalidAddress
The send call will raise a :exc:`!AnymailInvalidAddress` error if you
attempt to send a message with invalidly-formatted email addresses in
the :attr:`from_email` or recipient lists.
One source of this error can be using a display-name ("real name") containing
commas or parentheses. Per :rfc:`5322`, you should use double quotes around
the display-name portion of an email address:
.. code-block:: python
# won't work:
send_mail(from_email='Widgets, Inc. <widgets@example.com>', ...)
# must use double quotes around display-name containing comma:
send_mail(from_email='"Widgets, Inc." <widgets@example.com>', ...)
.. exception:: AnymailSerializationError
The send call will raise a :exc:`!AnymailSerializationError`
if there are message attributes Anymail doesn't know how to represent
to your ESP.
The most common cause of this error is including values other than
strings and numbers in your :attr:`merge_data` or :attr:`metadata`.
(E.g., you need to format `Decimal` and `date` data to
strings before setting them into :attr:`merge_data`.)
See :ref:`formatting-merge-data` for more information.
