Email not sent, but success message shown using django forms - django

Question

Everything works fine and I get the Succes message i have set when the email is sent. But its just not sending email to the given address.
Also I get the following message in terminal when i submit the form, where the local server is running. I believe the 200 message means that the communication is successful.
"POST /submit/ HTTP/1.1" 200 10141
Given below my views.py, settings.py, forms.py and the template file.
views.py
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
from django.template import RequestContext
from .forms import SubmitForm
from django.template import Context, loader
from django.core.mail import send_mail,EmailMessage
def submit(request):
success = False
success_message = " Thanks!"
form = SubmitForm(request.POST or None)
if form.is_valid():
original_title = request.POST.get('original_title')
english_title = request.POST.get('english_title')
sent_email = 'receive#email.com'
message_template = loader.get_template('submit.txt')
message_context = Context({ 'original_title':original_title,'english_title':english_title,
})
mail = EmailMessage(original_title, english_title, [sent_email])
mail.send()
success = True
return render_to_response('submit.html',
{'form' : form,'success': success,'success_message':success_message},
context_instance=RequestContext(request))
settings.py
EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'sender#gmail.com'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = '*****'
EMAIL_PORT = 587
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = 'Sample < example#gmail.com >
forms.py
from django import forms
from django.conf import settings
from django.core.cache import cache
from django.contrib.admin import widgets
from django.shortcuts import get_object_or_404
import os
class SubmitForm(forms.Form):
title = forms.CharField()
name = forms.CharField()
submit.html
<form method="post" action="{% url 'submit' %}" style="width:75%;margin:auto">{%csrf_token%}
<legend>Title</legend>
<br/>
<div class="row">
<dl class="field">
<dd><label>Title: *</label></dd>
<dt class="text">{{ form.name.errors }}
{{ form.original_title }}</dt>
<dd class="msg">You filled this out wrong.</dd>
</dl>
<dl class="field ">
<dd><label>English Title: *</label></dd>
<dt class="text">{{ form.name.errors }}
{{ form.english_title }}</dt>
<dd class="msg">You filled this out wrong.</dd>
</dl>
<input class="submit three columns" type="submit" value="Register"/>
I have added the submit.txt also in proper way. I get the success_message when i click submit but no email sent.

When you initialize an EmailMessage, the third argument is the from address. You appear to have a list containing the receiver's address instead.
Make sure you create your message in the same way as the docs:
email = EmailMessage('Hello', 'Body goes here', 'from#example.com',
['to1#example.com', 'to2#example.com'], ['bcc#example.com'],
headers = {'Reply-To': 'another#example.com'})
