When there is an error with sending an email, the return code of sendmail is captured, but no further diagnostics.
In my example, a reporting background job failed (due to a postfix missconfiguration) with this terse message in the logs and in the gui:
Scheduling report in background failed:With nothing after the colon.
Expected behaviour: Error messages from sendmail should propagate into logs and gui.
As one part of the fix, I suggest to capture stderr and stdout of sendmail.
This enables other parts of the code to pick up error messages and show them appropriately.
