No - thats basically the reason why I'm asking this question here...

What do you exactly mean? I have 1 bot account only. This one exists for
years and mailing worked fine in the past (I had written my own mailing
routine/function until I discovered the one in the framework) at least
until we had to change to use SGE and cronie on the toolserver (instead
of crontab)... but I don't know if this is affected by toolserver
changes (as far as I understand - it should NOT)

As mentioned in the past mailing from the bot and bot account worked and
anyway it works even now, but just 50% of the times (roughly guessed)...
In fact it worked the day before as visible from another log in [1].
(In the past I even had a "MailerBot" running - that had mailing as only
job)

It is a somehow frustrating thing; if I had a clue what could be the
reason I would add more debugging output... And DO more debugging in the
bot - but as you can see this is a rare and alternating bug which makes
tracking down hard...
