#26210: When emailing the admins about exceptions and an error occurs, it
continues
as if there had been no error

My server had a 500 error, and Django was trying to email the error
information to the ADMINS. Upon reaching
https://github.com/django/django/blob/0ed7d15/django/core/mail/backends/smtp.py#L64,
there was an exception because of a gevent bug.
In that case, `fail_silently` is True. The result is that the `open()`
method returns as if everything had gone fine. This means that,
subsequently, the `send_messages()` method will be called, and so on.
Impact: Maybe this is just a bit ugly, however if you continue to work as
if there had been no error when an error has actually occurred, you are
asking for trouble. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35315397/ shows why
this issue made debugging another problem a day or two longer.
It should also be possible to log the error that occurs during the sending
of the email, although this is probably a different issue.
