Newsletter send fails when sending to larger group

Interestingly, for me, sending emails only works when I’m sending a smaller quantity of emails. When I have a large volume of emails, like 400 or 8,000 emails, I can’t send the articles to users’ emails. I get the following warning: Uh-oh. Your post has been published but the email failed to send.

An unexpected error occurred, please retry sending your newsletter.

If the error persists, please verify your email settings.

Mailgun does have a rate limit in place:

Might be worth checking your server logs to see if you run into it (there should be a descriptive error coming back from Mailgun)
