A reusable application is a package. To use it you need to put the package name in INSTALLED_APPS and depending if it provides any models do syncdb after that (for mailer you need that).
Usually there's detailed instructions on what you need to do to get up and running with a reusable app. But an INSTALLED_APPS entry is common to all Sometimes you will see bundles of larger packages containing multiple apps, like django-cms for example. In the case of django-mailer it is one package called 'mailer' so you need to put the package name in your INSTALLED_APPS ('mailer').
