Thank you for your understanding. Empathy always helps a bit :-) As for your suggestion, as long as my code is using the QUERY param of the CFMAIL (instead of doing it one at a time) this will not work. Now in my query I am having to add all sorts of checks to make sure the address is valid. I have wasted my whole morning playing games with this tag. One of these hours now my query will check every possible problem and deliver a perfect set of approx 6000 email addresses to CFMAIL.
Why should I have to do this when the mail server would do it for me? Nobody really knows. Thanks for your help.
