As per SPF, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sender_Policy_Framework and email server handling, your emails will be placed in junk mails in most of the mail server.
As per your script, you send email from an email id which is different than the one which is used for authentication. Most of the SMTP servers (your outgoing servers such as smtp.gmail.com) would not care what is in the from address of MIMEMultipart or simply SMTP's FROM header. You could add the following to forge (although you send using differ account), this is called as on-behalf-of. msg.add_header('reply-to', send_from) # 'mahadeva...@gmail.com' would get reply when recipient replies msg['From'] = send_from + ' <' + smtp_login_mail + '>' # peacefully valid in smtp terms. many social network sites send mail using this idea if you use custom domain, make sure you have SPF records setup.
