Your software
My Mautic version is: v2.15.3
My PHP version is: 7.0.33
Your problem
My problem is: When I am sending an email campaign, mautic requires the browser to be open else the campaign cannot get sent.
I cannot keep my desktop on all night, what is the solution for this?
These errors are showing in the log:
Steps I have tried to fix the problem:

Hello dante7,
I think, the solution is to use a version of Mautic, which allows for sending a so called “segment email” in the background by “publishing it” at predefined time.
I’m not sure when this feature was introduced, but it’s present in 3.0.1. You will have to configure the appropriate cron job (mautic:broadcasts:send)

Hi,
Thanks for the answer.
I see, the thing is I have bought a email sending plan from a company and it included mautic as the frontend. I have never used mautic before though.

I suggest you go with a third party SMTP here.
There is a previous discussion regarding to this topic:
Sorry for the long letter, but I think you need a quick email university here:
You can send email from your server, using Postfix or other MTA (mail transport protocol) but a simple server starts with a crappy reputation, so you need to improve by warming up your IP.
Just imagine, that your message is delivered by a really bad smelling door to door salesman. People won’t let you in. -> you land in spam.
Again: unless you get good reputation, and grow your sending limits gradually.
You can …
Good luck.
