Django Interrupted system call when sending email
- by mhost
Hi,
Sometimes, when submitting a form (pretty much any form on my site that sends me an email), I get the following error:
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/smtplib.py", line 603, in starttls
(resp, reply) = self.docmd("STARTTLS")
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/smtplib.py", line 378, in docmd
return self.getreply()
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/smtplib.py", line 352, in getreply
line = self.file.readline()
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/socket.py", line 381, in readline
data = self._sock.recv(self._rbufsize)
error: (4, 'Interrupted system call')
My code is sending email via gmail. I am also using django contact-form which does the same thing.
The problem doesn't always happen. It seems very random. At one point today it got so bad that it displayed the error every time I submitted a form.
Restarting apache fixes the problem for one submission and then it does it again.
I have checked the RAM and there is plenty available (about 350MB available).
Can someone lead me in the right direction? What does this error mean? What can I do to prevent this.
Thanks.
