[Phpmailer-general] Error message

[Ron P. <ron...@ac...>]

I use PHP Mailer with an opt in e-mail list I maintain.

When I updated to PHP Mailer 5.1 (from 5.0) I began getting this error:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'phpmailerException' with message 'SMTP Error: Data not accepted.' in PHPMailer_v5.1/class.phpmailer.php:757
Stack trace:
#0 PHPMailer_v5.1/class.phpmailer.php(576): PHPMailer->SmtpSend('Date: Thu, 14 A...', '--b1_276e83009d...')
#1 send_emails.php(387): PHPMailer->Send()
#2 {main}
  thrown in PHPMailer_v5.1/class.phpmailer.php on line 757 

It is exceptionally troublesome today.  Since 1:00 AM it has only been able to send a handful of e-mails (let’s say up to 5 e-mails) before getting this error message.  (In other words about 400 people have received their e-mail.  There are now 700 qued to be sent.  

My suspicion is the SMTP server is slow and I may have timed out, although when I have sent e-mails myself I don’t sense it being slow.  Any suggestions on settings I can change to make it more tolerant?  It isn’t stuck on a particular e-mail.  A few get through and then I am back to this same error message.

Or is there a way to better diagnosis the problem?
