Add task using Celery to send email verification for signing up

[keshakaneria]

Description

In order to login into the system, I need to verify my email address to get logged in for the first time through the mailed link. Currently, the email is displayed in the console itself.

Acceptance Criteria

Update [Required]

• Approval by 1 mentor.

Estimation

@keshakaneria I did try it out. But there are some issues on booting up of the docker image (port engagement of postgres). If not in urgent mode, I would be able to do this in 2-3 days

@keshakaneria do we need to verify the email when we are signing up. and then when we login for the very first time the verification mail should be sent to out mail inbox?

When the user signs up for the first time, the email id needs to be verified, currently we have the verification link getting printed in console only. We also need to send the email to their personal mail boxes to get the verification link. You can also do it with SMTP. Have a look at this issue.

@keshakaneria actually i am a bit confused. do i need to create a view.py file in vms/home or i need to make changes in view.py file of vms/registration as in that the email function is defined

You can have a look at how SMTP works and what changes are required to do that which can give our required output. As you can see one of our participant have uploaded a video in the issue, it sends the mail through SMTP itself.
