error emails are counted as "recipients emailed" not "admins emails"

a different mail function should be used:

There's a couple of issues with this. First is that django admins is not necessarily the same as app engine admins. Second is that django admin emails are created at a layer above the app engine email backend, so by the time it gets to the app engine code, you don't know that its meant for admins, which is caused by the first issue that the django admins may not be same as app engine admins.

You could check to see if all the emails in the message are meant for admins and then route it to the send_mail_to_admins function. I'd be happy to take a pull request if you'd like to try fixing the issue, but it might end up being too complicated for this case.

OK, I will give it a shot.
I would define an extra settings entry with a list of GAE admins:
GAE_ADMINS = []

Hmm, looking deeper into this, it does not make sense to have a GAE_ADMINS settins. I think a pseudo-email like "admins@APP-ID.appspotmail.com" in the settings of ADMINS would fit best, as send_mail_to_admins always mail to all app admins.
