As noted [in the docs](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/settings/#server-email), the `SERVER_EMAIL` setting is supposed to change the 'From' address in crash emails sent to `ADMINS` from the Django (1.3.1) server.

But it's not.

Does this work for you in 1.3.1? (Or any Django version)

Django insists on just using my `EMAIL_HOST_USER` - my email login/actual address - as the from address. I'm using Gmail as an SMTP server, so I wonder if that could have something to do with it. Does Gmail block this sort of thing? I swear I've gotten this to work before.

It's a little annoying because we have multiple projects that all seem to be emailing from the same address, and we have to dig through the traceback to see which project it is.
