We're aware of issues with mail.send() and exceptions. Ryan, do you know what percentage of calls this is happening to you for? Can you identify a pattern in when these errors occur?
There is a workaround, but it's a bit of an ugly one. I'd like to test it out before I recommend it. From a high level, it involves BCCing [email protected] on the email sends, then only retrying if the app does not receive the email response, perhaps by storing the current state in Memcache. -- Ikai Lan Developer Programs Engineer, Google App Engine Blogger: http://googleappengine.blogspot.com Reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/appengine Twitter: http://twitter.com/app_engine On Thu, Oct 21, 2010 at 7:32 AM, ryan baldwin <[email protected]> wrote: > btw, app id=daily-deal > > On Oct 21, 8:19 am, ryan baldwin <[email protected]> wrote: > > I know we sent not only duplicates, but in sometimes as many as 6 > > copies of an email to a customer because of themail.Send() error > > (like the parent poster, our emails are sent in a task). > > > > What is the status of this error? > > > > On Oct 13, 7:44 am, Jamie H <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Googlers, > > > > > I'm wondering if anything else has been rolled out to fix this issue? > > > I sent several hundred emails this morning and received 0 errors. > > > Maybe a fluke?
