Hi guys,
My web app sends email to a user every time she creates some entity (registers a eam for a competition). From time to time (like 20% of cases) sending email from PY fails resulting in Exception and Server Error (500).
There has been 30 entities created (teams registered) over 48 hours, so it's not a high load. This piece of log shows that the 1st attempt failed and in two minutes the 2nd attempt went OK. On my local dev server I never had this error.
Why could this happen?
