Throwing exception in WCF web service

Hi,

We have implemented sending email feature in WCF service. From client application when user report any problem will call this email service which in turn sends email to helpdesk. From client application, user input is Phone number , Problem_Type (dropdown value) and problem_description (max:1500 chars).

This feature is working fine , but sometime its throwing following exception:

An error occurred while receiving the HTTP response to http://......./emailservice.svc. This could be due to the service endpoint binding not using the HTTP protocol. This could also be due to an HTTP request context being aborted by the server (possibly due to the service shutting down). See server logs for more details.

Can anyone help me to resolve this issue.

Thanks in advance.
