Hi Miguel, which test did you do from command line? does web2py print something? Any error?
Try to do the next thing from the command line: tail -f /var/log/mail.log (if you are in ubuntu/debian, don't know where it would be in other distributions...) and see if it complaints about anything when trying to send a mail from web2py.
