Unable to send email through SMTP for user activation in docker

Taking a look at: kpi repo:
./kpi/kobo/settings/base.py Line 491

We have that config only will accept EMAIL_USE_TLS , but according docs

we can use EMAIL_USE_SSL.
In my case I use a Bluehost mail server which doesn’t work with TLS, most probably Django uses a STARTTLS command, but we need to connect through SSL. I’ve done a POC on a console app and that is how it should work.

I wasn’t able to work with gmail either but I think is because Gmail is blocking a connection from a U.S. in Azure (I live in Bolivia), but that’s another story.

So… should we think that KPI only support TLS? or is there any way to make it work with SSL? thanks!!
