Can't connect to iCloud mail server after 10 emails sent

Hi,

I am trying to use MBM to send emails to around 200 people on a mailing list. I have it set to Group emails by 5, sent singly, with a 1 minute interval.

I am connecting to an iCloud mail server.

At the moment it sends 5, then normally sends another 5, and then it gets stuck saying "The server smtp.mail.me.com doesn't respond". I stop the process and start again and it sends another 10 emails and then gets stuck again.

Perhaps this issue is specific to the iCloud mail servers. Can you tell what the issue is from the log below (I have obscured email addresses)?
