 * I getting the message as Admin of the site, I can set the mail so error will 
   send to the site owner?
    This way they can say what they done to cause the error

 * Which error email are you referring to?
    A post SMTP error message? Or a non-
   Post SMTP site generated error message?
 * If your account is receiving error messages of a certain type, but you want those
   to go to the site owner, could you not set up a filter on your mail server/mail
   account that would automatically forward those emails to go to the owner instead.
 * Error messages about a site usually go to the site admin of which there is usually
   one.
    If you want to filter off certain messages to different accounts, using
   a filter at the admin account level is probably the quickest and easiest method
   to achieve that.
 * I’m assuming that as site admin, there are some messages that you still want 
   to receive?

 * The post SMTP error message sent to the admin when the sending failed, I want
   to send it to the site owners

 * You could change the email in the WordPress->Settings->General tab, as that is
   listed as the site admin address. But that means ALL emails sent to that address
   by WordPress will go to that address, not just the email failures.
 * I’m assuming (again) that you only want email failures to go to the site owner
   and emails such as plugin/core updates required emails to go to you.
 * You have two options around that, on your own email account, set up a filter 
   so that emails containing “Post SMTP email error” in the subject are forwarded
   to the site owner. (Bit clunky)
 * The better option is to go to the Notification tab on Post SMTP settings and 
   change it from using “Email” as the “Notification Service” to “Pushover” or “
   Slack”.
    That will require your website owner to set up a Pushover/Slack account
   so they receive notifications of email failures. The best feature of using this
   is that notifications are instant. You could also have your website owner set
   up “Push to Chrome”. You’ll need the owner to install the Chrome extension. I’m
   not 100% certain if notifications are shown if Chrome isn’t running (but in most
   cases, if Chrome is installed, it will have a process running somewhere !).
 * At the moment, Post SMTP sends email notifications to the standard WordPress 
   Admin email address as defined by WordPress’s own settings.
    You could request
   a feature that allows a different email address to be specified to be used as
   a Delivery Notification Email Address, but it’s not available at the present.

 * OK, thanks.
    I don’t want to change the email in WordPress->Settings->General
   tab. I don’t think I ask the site owner to install something or open any accounts
