Description
I wanted to write an email to women at womeninlinux.com, but copied it from a message with a typo like women at womeinlinux.com (without the n).
This resulted in a »Server error« notification. Is it possible to show a more specific error message like »Recipient could not be found«? Or something like that.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Reproduce sending to the invalid address, then trace the mail-send failure and notification entry points; done means the invalid-recipient case shows a specific recipient error rather than the generic server error.
