Issue Badge Locally

[c0deTalk]

Hi fellow contributors - I'm new to contributing, but have a vested interest in contributing.

I'm having an issue of issuing a badge to someone.

I sent the email settings in settings.py with my outgoing server, username, and password (have double checked these settings too). Everytime I try to issue a badge to someone, it never sends the email.

Does anyone have some good steps to perform to test where in the process this is failing?
Thanks

Just noticed this, wasn't getting notifications on this repo -- I never had any trouble with this feature. Are there any significant differences in your .env than this? Are you using foreman to load environmental variables?

# Send claim emails to people when the webhook is activated?  If this is true,
# but EMAIL_HOST is not set, then the email will be printed to the development
# console instead of sent.
BADGEKIT_SEND_CLAIM_EMAILS=True


# If you set an EMAIL_HOST, the project will try to use
# a real email server.  So you should set the other
# EMAIL_* variables.
#EMAIL_HOST=smtp.somedomain.net
