That's the first problem I'd be working on fixing, then. Long term you are
likely to want that mechanism working, you've got a problem to solve right
now for which it would be useful -- I'd be figuring out what's wrong with
the settings that is causing the error email to go astray.

Well yes if that is all you have in views.py then you'll get a 500 error
because Http404 has not been imported. But for the DEBUG=True case you'd
also be seeing a debug page that starts with:
NameError at /test/
and goes on to complain that "global name 'Http404' is not defined" instead
of:
Page not found (404)
and that doesn't match what you said earlier so I'm unsure if you skipped
over some details in reporting the code for your minimal example or what it
is you see when you have DEBUG set to True.
I assure you, if I insert "raise Http404" into the beginning of one of my
views, I get my customized 404 template, not a 500 error. Whatever is going
on is something specific to your code (or 400.html template), not something
fundamentally broken in Django when Http404 is raised with DEBUG set to
False.
