Mail fall back on smtp fail.

I would like SMTP failure notifications. I found out my server was failing to send SMTP after a while of it just not working. :/ Explained why signs up lowered.
 
This happen to me last year. My Chevereto SMTP failed and I didn't know about it for many days. There should a option to send alert for all types of issues like database problem, file storage issue and email fails. Obviously site cannot send about itself being offline. But all other possible error/down should be notified if possible.
 
Everytime smtp fails (or anything critical fails) it logs that into the error_log file. I know, no one opens to that file.
 
There is one question of how will it notify us when the email SMTP fails. Either it has to fall back to phpmail() like two411 said or should show notification in admin console like the update available notification.
 
If I notify via phpmail when SMTP fails, how do I notify when phpmail fails? I think that the best is to log these errors in a different file and show it to you in 1. Top bar notifications, 2. Dashboard panel.

Yes it would be the best. In future this file could be used to display other error/fail notifications too.
 
I will add a phpmail() alert when SMTP fails for folks not using transactional email services (I won't ask why).
