send_mail显然正在发送电子邮件，但收件箱中未显示任何电子邮件

Question

I have these email settings in my settings.py

EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'email@myemail.com'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'password'
EMAIL_PORT = 587

and am using this function to send email to recipients.

def send_email(subject, body, recipients, agent_email, bcc=[], attachments=[]):
    recipient_list = []
    if isinstance(recipients, (str, unicode,)):
        recipient_list.append(recipients)
    else:
        recipient_list = recipients

    recipient_list = recipient_list + bcc

    send_mail(subject, body, settings.EMAIL_FROM, recipient_list)

while it looks quite clear when I go to the django-admin site that the email was indeed sent and no error messages show in the log files whatsoever, when I go to check the email that it was sent to, nothing shows in the inbox. I would expect to see the email there, especially given that it shows as sent in django-admin . Have I misunderstood something about how email is sent from the system?

I also checked my spam folder and added

EMAIL_FROM = 'email@myemail.com'

because I noticed it wasn't there before. Same results, though. Email appears sent according to django-admin but no email in my inbox.

Try to add the following in settings.py

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'    
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = EMAIL_HOST_USER
