Email makes it to Gmail, but not Squirrelmail

[Paco de Kumite]

Hi.  I have a little view that sends an email.  I looks like this

msg = EmailMultiAlternatives(subject, text_content, from_email, [to])

msg.attach_alternative(html_content, "text/html")

msg.send()

where text_content is a simple text message and html_content is, well, some html content.

The html message gets sent to Gmail without any problems, and I can see from there (In the "Show Original" thing) that the text version went through ok too.  But when I send it to my other domain email, and check my inbox via Squirrelmail, I don't get the email at all.

I'm just wondering, this probably isn't Django's fault is it?  I'm thinking it has something to do with my mail server not being properly configured (e.g. no SPF yet and some other stuff I overlooked just to get it going), and maybe Gmail is just smart enough to sort it all out, where as my other domain server (i.e. the one using squirrelmail) just rejects the mail outright.  I'm just looking for some feedback.  Thanks.

Hi Paco,
as the mail makes it to your Gmail account, but not to your
self-hosted server runnig squirrelmail I indeed would assume that the
problem lies with the mail server.
To check this I would take a look at the mail log of the server
running your Django view and the mail log of the server running
squirrelmail.

At least one of the logs should show some clues about the whereabouts
of the mail.
