How can I figure out why django-allauth isn't sending a confirmation e-mail?

Question

I am using Django-allauth and sending e-mail through Amazon SES. I want all accounts to verify their e-mails before they can log in, but the e-mail verification sending seems to fail silently. I've looked at the source code, where I saw I should set DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL, but it still doesn't work.

Here's my config, in case I forgot anything obvious. I have django-smtp-ssl installed as email backend. Your help would be much appreciated!

# E-mail

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django_smtp_ssl.SSLEmailBackend'
EMAIL_HOST = 'email-smtp.us-west-2.amazonaws.com'
EMAIL_HOST_USER = os.environ['EMAIL_USER']
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = os.environ['EMAIL_PASSWORD']
EMAIL_PORT = 465
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = 'Verified-email <[email protected]>'

# Auth

ACCOUNT_EMAIL_REQUIRED = True
ACCOUNT_EMAIL_VERIFICATION = 'mandatory'
SOCIALACCOUNT_EMAIL_VERIFICATION = True
ACCOUNT_AUTHENTICATION_METHOD = 'username_email'

Finally found what I was missing.

In my signup view, I added one more line:

from allauth.account.utils import complete_signup
from allauth.account import app_settings
# some other code
def signup(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = UserCreateForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            user = form.save(request)
            # Added this!
            complete_signup(request, user,app_settings.EMAIL_VERIFICATION, "/")
            # etc...
