[Bug 1609713] [NEW] SMTP sending errors are ignored

Public bug reported:

When the smtp server does not accept a message that mailman tried to
send via smtp, the error is being ignored by mailman.

In my specific case I reject mails at the MTA based on whether or not
the recipient domain is on a blacklist. If someone with a blacklisted
domain wants to subscribe via the mailman web interface he sees no error
message, just the usual "Your subscription request has been
received...".

What I would expect is that mailman notices that the SMTP delevery
failed and that the user gets back some kind of error message about a
failure.
