 > We need to identify all challenges non-expert users face when installing
 and maintaining WordPress in configuring mail sending that will work,
 since WordPress depend on it for so many features. Then identfy which and
 how to do the most common and simplest checks that MTAs will do, before
 doing an end-to-end test (send a message). The goal should be that setting
 up email sending natively from the web server (maildrop through PHPMailer)
 become easier that setting up SMTP, a task some also have trouble with,
 besides requiring a plugin.

 Let's try to shape this a little. How would you display this on a Health
 Check?

 Capturing the mail error, saving it in a db record or something to show it
 as a Health Check failure?

 I like for example how WP Mail keeps informing about Mail problems. I
 definitely think that something like this could be somewhat replicated as
 a Health Check

 The thing with Mail is that as I said its not a trivial aspect of WP like
 for example, publishing a post. Some technical knowledge is required. But
 I agree that not much information is provided on such technical knowledge.
 I will try to see if we can better sort this out.
