#23944: Django should use custom exceptions for errors thrown by send_mail
(etc.),
not smtplib.SMTPException

Since Django allows all kinds of backends — not just SMPT — for sending
mail, it should have its own exceptions that different mail backends can
subclass.
Otherwise, if you have code like this:
{{{
try:
send_mail(...)
except smptlib.SMTPException:
# do something
}}}
And then switch to a backend that doesn't use smtplib, you won't catch the
error.
I think the exceptions should be available from
`django.core.mail.exceptions` and then subclassed within each backend.
