Django error when send emails thrue google apps

Question

I have a Django application that connect to google apps to send emails. However, few days ago I started to get "Connection reset by peer" error. Sometimes it works, sometimes not... I couldn't find any reason to justify when not works... I am using nginx and uwsgi. Can anybody help me to understand whats going on and how to resolve it?

This same application is running more than 1 month and just now started to give this error.

Here is the log:

Answer 1

It looks like you are not reading post-data before closing the connection with nginx.

If you cannot modify your app try adding --post-buffering 8192 to your uWSGI command line to force UWSGI reading post-data automatically
