Quick question: I sent a newsletter via cron and got this message in the reports log:

100 emails sent in 38.8 seconds, 400 failed sending

Will simplenews automatically retry sending to those 400 addresses?

Also, any idea why they might have failed? I checked with my host, and I'm allowed 750/hour and 300 seconds...

Decreased from 500 to 200 and got this:

149 emails sent in 15.2 seconds, 51 failed sending.

Yes, it does. Success/Error is tracked for each sent mail in the mail_spool_row.

Maybe your host does throttle the amount of mails so maybe you are allowed to send 750 an hour but not more than n per second or so.

You can try to enable detailed reports in the simplenews mail settings which will write a watchdog row per mail. Maybe you'll find a pattern what's going on or can work together with your host. Other people for example had to switch to use SMTP to directly send the mails to a mailserver with more capacity.
