Grafana 4.1.1 Email Timeout Bug

When sending an E-Mail notification with three recipients its works fine, but when I add just one more the following Error is in the log:

t=2017-07-11T14:35:29+0000 lvl=info msg=“Sending alert notification to” logger=alerting.notifier.email addresses=“[test@example.com test@example test@example]”
t=2017-07-11T14:37:34+0000 lvl=info msg=“Sending notification” logger=alerting.notifier type=email id=0 isDefault=false

The AWS SES service has 100 mails/s and also the daily limit was not reached. Any ideas what could went wrong, when just adding one email address and fire another test notification?
I also tried this with , and ; and it results in the same outcome.

No idea, what is going wrong here. Are these valid addresses? Does it work if you send a test email directly with AWS SES via the console: Sending test emails in Amazon SES with the simulator - Amazon Simple Email Service

Yes these are valid addresses and three emails were received just fine. I had another thought and it could be that our company’s smtp endpoint is rate limited/protected against too much requests.

In the end I solved it with a mailing list that is externally reachable.
