It was also a problem with email header on Russian when sending (python manage.py send_newsletter) (encoding problem) Don't know whether it's fixed or not :)

Hi BlindHunter,

I will pull your commit asap, thank you for the contribution.

For the encoding problem, do you have non-ASCII character in the title of your newsletter ? If yes, use the "-v 0" option in your command.

By downgrading the verbosity level, this error will not occurs anymore.

I think it's also neccessary to write .sh script for cron : if 2 or more commands are started simultaneously a horrible things may occur :)

Besides reconnecting solves issue partly : one letter (on which disconnect happened) is marked as ERROR ... Though, it will be send later ...

In your first commit,

you did not import SMTPServerDisconnected, so I don't think your patch work.

And reconnecting the smtp immediatly is not a really good solution. So I will not apply it.

For the shell script, it's an idea but I don't know why you would launch the same command multiple time. :)

Nevertheless, it's necessary to keep in mind gmail limitations, which can be also on other hosts : http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2008/06/gmails-limitations-for-sending-messages.html

Sending limitions are already handled in the SMTPServer model, with the mails_hour field and the credits method.

Configure it, your problem will disappear.
