It would be handy if you could test connectivity when setting up a new Sender, or when changing its configuration.
Verifying you've correctly set the connection parameters when setting up a Sender, on the same screen, would be useful. I have seen this in other tools. Essentially a button saying Test Connection or similar so you can quickly notice if you've typo'd the SMTP host or port, or failed to set the TLS config correctly.
It would also be handy to be able to send a test email via the Sender to verify it works correctly before you try to send a large campaign.
At the moment you need to set up the Sender and then configure a Campaign to send to a list of Contacts to verify a Sender actually works, but if it doesn't it fails silently (see: #201 (comment)). Debugging means finding the logs (inside the container somewhere if deploying with Docker) which is time consuming and tricky for new adopters.
