We explicitly do not have ColdFusion move undelivered mail in to the spool folder because we assume this should be a user initiated procedure.
We do not retry as a "proper" SMTP server does because CF *isn't* an SMTP server. It expects that you will have a reliable SMTP server that you can at least spool the mail to, and since it is written explicitly to get mail where you want it to go and it will take care of any transient failures. In summary: instead of doing it half-assed, we let the expert program (and admin) handle it. The right way to think of CFMail is as a "User Agent" passing mail for delivery. Not as a "Mail Transport Agent". Hope that helps clarify things.

Ah I see there were earlier posts. You can't always rely on GMail's threading to group stuff. Sure it would be more efficient, but a batch file in Windows can't make decisions based on file age without some outside help. Don't know about *n*x. A new feature would be nice, and maybe we'll get it within the next 2-3 years when CF8 comes out :D -- --mattRobertson-- Janitor, MSB Web Systems mysecretbase.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
