Server Error - Emailing Users

Tried to send an email via ACP to my board members. It cycled through a few hundred and then errored out with this:

Is there anything in the Server Error Logs?

Do you have any email sending limits? Shared hosts for example usually only allow a few hundred per hour (not that it should cause this error).

Server error logs show: fwrite(): SSL operation failed with code 1. OpenSSL Error messages: error:140D00CF:SSL routines:func(208):reason(207) library/Zend/Mail/Protocol/Abstract.php:324 Today at 3:10 AM Details

My host is a dedicated box, it's using smtp to google (commercial). The number of messages it was going to send was 13,000.

Something went wrong verifying the certificate from Google it looks like (SSL_F_SSL_VERIFY_CERT_CHAIN). Given that it worked for a few, I'm not sure why it would break after a little while. A low-level error like that is definitely something we don't have control over.

Probably some kind of spam prevention at Google's mailserver?

 

[Harry Rogers]

That's what I'm thinking also.

Was the error due to XF sending 1300 emails all at once with no email throttling ?
