I have noticed you need to define all the email options in your
settings file for send_mail to work. I took me quite a while to find
out why my app wasnt sending emails out.
add this to your settings file with your details.
EMAIL_HOST = 'host.dns'
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'XYZ'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'FOO'
EMAIL_PORT = 25
by the looks of it if you are not running your email server on the
localhost you need to specfy all of these, not sure if this is a bug
or not as Port should be default, but sendmail didnt work for me till
i put all the info in.
check that your smtp server lets you relay..
