Or is email perhaps not a good way to get notifications when there is a problem?

Maybe email in this manner is old-skool and it would be better to use something else?
Like external log server, system monitoring (Zabbix) perhaps?

Yeah I would use SIEM. Then you'd create and manage your alerts from there. You could send to email, slack, etc.

You can use postfix for alerting as JB mentioned. I use postfix on the my personal servers because I don't manage enough to justify a SIEM.

I thought that SIEM was only used for security monitoring. What SIEMs for example are we talking about for this type of application?

For postfix to work for this i need to have the full SMTP+IMAP configured

You are associating SMTP and IMAP. They are unrelated. Completely and totally unrelated.

Postfix is SMTP, it has no association with IMAP handling.

Just install Postfix and your sending is fixed. Just put in your IMAP details of your Gmail account and your IMAP is fixed because your application absolutely has a built in IMAP client, that's what those settings are for. Those settings cannot work unless it is a client.
