From https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/topics/email/#send-mail: “If
it’s False, send_mail will raise an smtplib.SMTPException.”
This is often untrue, and certainly misleading. Certainly, if it's False,
send_mail is ''capable'' of raising SMTPException, but it's not
guaranteed.
I was going to open a pull request and change it to “If it's True,
send_mail can raise smtplib.SMTPException”, but I'm not confident that
other exceptions cannot be raised, or that send_mail will never raise
SMTPException if fail_silently is True.
