Drop into a shell (python manage.py shell) and send yourself a test
message using:
from django.core.mail import send_mail
send_mail('Subject test', 'Message test', '[EMAIL PROTECTED]',
['your_email_address_here'], fail_silently=False)
With fail_silently=False, you will receive some kind of an error
message if that email send is unsuccessful. Use that to investigate
further.
If the above call doesn't show any errors, check your Postfix logs.
Lastly, although this is probably not related to your problem at the
moment, make sure you have SPF records set for your sending domain
name to allow emails from the server. Without an appropriate SPF
record, Gmail might take these emails to be spam.

Also, it's a good idea to have a Reverse DNS pointer record for your
server's IP address.
