Comment (by timgraham):
I am not sure there's a compelling use case for third-party apps handling
the different types of email failures that makes this extra complexity
worthwhile. It seems to me most apps could simply catch `Exception` if
`send_mail()` fails -- or use `fail_silently=True` and check the number of
messages sent and handle an error based on its needs.
