In fact you can do this in two different ways in two different level:

  1. You can do this at the level of the form validation:
class NewsletterForm(forms.ModelForm):

    email = forms.EmailField(
      widget=forms.EmailInput(attrs={
        'autocomplete': 'off',
        'class': 'form-control',
        'placeholder': _('seuemail@email.com'),
        'required': 'required'
      }),
      error_messages={'invalid': 'your custom error message'}
    )

    class Meta:
        model = Newsletter
        fields = ['email', ]
  1. the second way at the level of the model:

2.1. you can do the same as in the form:

    email = models.EmailField(error_messages={'invalid':"you custom error message"})

2.2. or you use django built-in Validators:

   from django.core.validators import EmailValidator

   email = models.EmailField(validators=[EmailValidator(message="your custom message")]) # in you model class
