Comment (by nacin):

 The main issue with providing a UI option for this, is it requires
 configuration beyond the option. Something still needs to be done, outside
 of WordPress, in order to make it work. The user still needs to do some
 outside configuration they probably don't understand (see the next
 paragraph for a fairly onerous and confusing process some must go
 through). That's not very good when you offer an arbitrary input. If any
 email worked, we would have been using admin_email all this time.

 I think something more effective would be to encourage hosts to set up a
 default email address of wordpress at domain.com in their own systems
 whenever a user installs WordPress, to allow the local SMTP server to send
 it. Even if MX records to not go to the host, some hosts do whitelist
 outgoing mail based on their own systems.
