Description (last modified by Mike Edmunds)

The ​sendtestemail management command always uses the default MAILERS configuration. There's currently no way to test other configurations with it.

We should add an optional --using ALIAS argument to sendtestemail to specify the MAILERS configuration:

./manage.py sendtestemail --using notifications to@example.com
./manage.py sendtestemail --managers --using internal

If --using is not provided, sendtestemail would use the default MAILERS configuration.

[This was recommended as early follow-on work ​in DEP 0018. I'm opening it as "Cleanup" because it feels like a missing piece of #35514 rather than a new feature. Or we may want to treat it as a "Bug" so it gets backported to 6.1 (if it makes it in before beta).]
