[DRaver]

Sometimes the forum is not sending emails.
Sometimes there is also a bug report.

What is the problem?

This is saying that your SMTP server connection timed out. That would indicate a connectivity issue between your server and your SMTP server or issues on your SMTP server.

This is one of the reasons why we generally recommend the built-in PHP mail options unless you have particular reasons to use a separate SMTP server. (And issues like this may have to be tolerated.)

 

[DRaver]

Error should never be tolerated. I used the procedure since many yreas with my Vbulletin boards and there daily 1000 mails be sent without errors.

Hey @Mike I once more checked my logs, and whenever this email error comes, the following error is in my log of my Nginx.

...."POST /deferred.php HTTP/1.1" 499 0 "http://www.mydomain.net/bla-forum/blabla-forum.76/" "Mozilla/5.0 .......

http://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,213789,213794#msg-213794 has some information on the 499 status code.... it's not a recognized code but is an nginx one. Basically means the client closed the connection.
A lot of people that have this error are running on AWS. Do you happen to be by chance?

mhh I run apache.
