Thanks; I'll look there.

(Later)

Now it's importing it, oddly enough; I rebooted the server because one of
my alternatives bogged the server, and now, after making what should be a
mail entry, I get:

(virtual)Orthodox Network ~/orthodox $ python manage.py send_mail
/Users/jonathan/virtual/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pytz/__init__.py:32:
UserWarning: Module notification was already imported from
/Users/jonathan/virtual/lib/python2.7/site-packages/notification/__init__.pyc,
but /usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages is being added
to sys.path
  from pkg_resources import resource_stream
/Users/jonathan/virtual/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pytz/__init__.py:32:

  from pkg_resources import resource_stream

0 sent; 0 deferred; 0 don't send
done in 0.01 seconds

But the password reset emails are getting in my inbox, including one from
the crontab send_mail instead of the command line invocation. I'm not clear
what fixed it, but thanks.
