I think you are making a big confusion. SMTP servers do not send e-mail.
SMTP servers only receive e-mail. What sends e-mail are MTA (Mail
Transfer Agents). Some MTA come with SMTP servers but those are
independent operations.

There is no reason for an SMTP server or MTA to die unless it is not
configure to work upto the operating system limits.

What mail server do you use?
