SMTP_EMAIL_FILTER_FUNCTION_PATH default to db_email_backend.utils.smtp_filter_email_function. a dotted path to the smtp email filter function. A filter function for the smtp email, takes the email_message (django.core.mail.message.EmailMessage) as a parameter, and return False if this message should be filter out out and not sent via the backend.

Example:

def only_allow_emails_to_mahad(message):
    return True if '[email protected]' in message.to else False

DB_EMAIL_FILTER_FUNCTION_PATH default to db_email_backend.utils.db_filter_email_function. a dotted path to the db email filter function. same as the SMTP one but for the Database.

def dont_record_error_emails(message):
    return False if settings.EMAIL_SUBJECT_PREFIX in message.subject else True
