Can no longer send email via Django site

Can no longer send email via Django site

This was working fine as of 11/7/25. Now I am unable to send user verification emails from a Django site on a AWS lightsail sever. When a user attempts to register the following error occurs. I have also attempted to send a test email via the shell and I get a similar error:
