You probably need to set EMAIL_HOST (and maybe EMAIL_PORT, EMAIL_HOST_USER, EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD) in your settings file. EMAIL_HOST defaults to "localhost" so Django is trying to connect to an SMTP server running on whatever machine you are running on. These settings are documented here: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/settings but not mentioned (last I checked) in the doc for send_mail.
