As per SPF, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sender_Policy_Framework and email
server handling, your emails will be placed in junk mails in most of the
mail server.
As per your script, you send email from an email id which is different
than the one which is used for authentication. Most of the SMTP servers
(your outgoing servers such as smtp.gmail.com) would not care what is in
the from address of MIMEMultipart or simply SMTP's FROM header.
You could add the following to forge (although you send using differ
account), this is called as on-behalf-of.
msg.add_header('reply-to', send_from) # '[email protected]' would get
reply when recipient replies
msg['From'] = send_from + ' <' + smtp_login_mail + '>' # peacefully valid
in smtp terms. many social network sites send mail using this idea
if you use custom domain, make sure you have SPF records setup.
