That application is very old, in asp classic and badly written. The page was aborting because of an error sending the email. Implementing a try-catch (it's equivalent in asp) solved the problem. But to make sure that the message doesn't get lost, I implemented a retry, it waits 3s each time and repeats 10 times for a total os 30 seconds.

My diagnose is that the problem was with the connection and not properly with Mandrill.

(may previous email gos truncated and uplicated and never got to the list, so this is a consolidated version)

Hi Alain, your answer makes me happy because if Mandrill is the problem, many things will make sense to me, but I need to ask you something.

The problem you mentioned before was a completely hanging up server?
I didn't understand very well your comment "10 retries as 30s interval". Why did you decided to implement this solution? Analyzing your comment I understood that Mandrill is entering in a infinite loop and blocking the main process.

    It’s been a few weeks since I started trying to solve this
    problem, but I still haven’t figured out a possible solution. The
    issue is that my server accepts requests and responds to them
    normally in the beginning. However, after an unknown event happens
    (I’m still trying to discover which event it is), the server
    continues accepting requests, but it stops responding to them.

    I’ve already checked the Process Monitor (the server is running on
    Windows Server 2012 R2) and I could notice that when this problem
    happens, new requests generate a TCP Accept, a TCP Receive, but
    not a TCP Send nor a Disconnect.

    I tried to execute the server in debug mode, but then again, when
    this problem happens the debugger does not work and it hangs up as
    well.

    The server doesn’t explode and no errors occur. Thus, domains
    won’t help me in this case. I’ve tried to handle
    uncaughtException, but it also didn’t work.

    The server keeps running without using excessive processor or
    memory resources. Its behavior is still similar to the one during
    the first execution, except for the fact that it’s not responding
    as it was before.

    When I sent a SIGNAL via console, the server simply started
    working normally again without restarting or anything. It just got
    back to normal.

    I tried to execute a lot of requests using ApacheBench and
    NeoLoad, but I just can’t reproduce this problem. It simply
    happens randomly.

    The socket has a timeout of two minutes. However, the server keeps
    hanging up the requests for hours.

    When I sent the SIGNAL mentioned before, all requests that were
    hanging were executed, as if they were in a queue waiting for the
    last request to be finished.

    I don’t know what else could I do to find out what is causing this
    problem.


    I'm using Node.js + Express + body-parser + cookie-parser +
    Windows Server 2012 R2 x64 with GUI + Amazon EC2 micro instance.


    *If somebody has any idea of what is causing the server to hang up
    forever, please tell me.*


    Best Regards,
