Sending mails slow down

[IT helpdesk]

I tried to send emails to around 10,000 recipients. It looks pretty fast from the very beginning (can see the count on the console keep going up quickly), but it ended up takes over 10 hours to finish sending out all 10,000 emails. We have the settings grouping 500 recipients at an interval of 5min, i.e. sending to 6000 recipients per hour.
I have no idea why it is so slow. Here is the log.

Did You check your ESP if this amount of mail is within their daily limits? To preventie spam Some ESP have a limit.

I think that the email limit has ended, try to increase it. I had a similar situation when I sent an SMS through BSG, my limits for sending is off and the messages stopped sending. When I increased the limit all messages went fine!
