XF 1.5 Mass Email to Users with lots of Server Errors. Were all e-mails sent?

Hello,

We just sent a mass email announcement to all our users.

At the end, the Email Users page said "Your email was sent to X users", with X being all our users, which implies all the e-mails were sent.

However, the Admin homepage is listing a lot of Server Errors related to the mass e-mail we just sent. For example:
Code:
Email to user@domainx.com failed: ip.ispserver.com Service not available - SIGTERM or SIGINT received - closing connection.
39 minutes ago - library/Zend/Mail/Protocol/Abstract.php:431

Email to user2@domainy.com failed: Could not read from mail.ourserver.com
39 minutes ago - library/Zend/Mail/Protocol/Abstract.php:385

fwrite() [<a href='function.fwrite'>function.fwrite</a>]: send of 6 bytes failed with errno=32 Broken pipe
39 minutes ago - library/Zend/Mail/Protocol/Abstract.php:324

Email to user3@domainz.com failed: Could not read from mail.ourserver.com
39 minutes ago - library/Zend/Mail/Protocol/Abstract.php:385

fwrite() [<a href='function.fwrite'>function.fwrite</a>]: send of 6 bytes failed with errno=32 Broken pipe
39 minutes ago - library/Zend/Mail/Protocol/Abstract.php:324

So were these e-mails listed in the Server Error Logs sent or did they fail? The Server Error Log with its several "Email to <user> failed" contradicts the Email Users page that said our email was sent to all users.

Please clarify ASAP as we need to know if we need to re-send the e-mails to those that failed if they were not somehow re-sent the e-mails automatically by the Email Users page upon failure.
 
Any time there's an error logged for an email, it would generally indicate the email wasn't sent. (There is likely a theoretical case where the error happened at a stage after the email was sent, but I would say this is very unlikely.)

The indicator of sent emails can't really access any failure responses and they're not generally expected. (It's assumed the email system/server will consistently accept all email sent to it.)

On a side note, I generally wouldn't recommend sending via SMTP unless you have to because of the types of errors you received.
