Dave,

The CFTRY and CFCATCH method described earlier is a great method for a
partial scrub. That method will scrub those email addresses which are
malformed or have invalid syntax. That's a great start, but there are two
additional things you should do as well:
1. Use the FAILTO feature of
I never use anything but Mail Chimp for bulk mail sends
Honestly, I too highly recommend a service like Mail Chimp or Constant
Contact, or Emma. They clearly have their place and the headache of getting
blacklisted is miserable, but sometimes you have a situation where the

You can also utilize a tool like BoogieBounce by Boogie Tools (
http://www.boogietools.com/). I've used this in the past and it works
great. It allows you to determine the cause of a rejected email (hard
bounce, soft bounce, server unreachable, etc.) and then programmatically
deal with it as
I agree that using a third part service is highly desirable, but depending
on the integration and the client it may not be feasible. I clearly have
clients that would never allow their mail list or the mail content to be
placed on any third-party server for compliance and/or security reasons...
Have any of you tried Amazon SES for email? I paid to clean my list and then
started using them.
I can send out 20,000 emails for $2. Its so much cheaper. I do use a software
program called Sendy
in conjunction with Amazon which cost $50 (one time).

Hi guys,

diseased customer, etc. I just flag the as NOT TO BE USED. This is because over

buyer.
Also, with respect to newsletters, I have over
Hi Folks
Robert details all the steps to keeping an email list clean and valid.
Having done that in the past and for a list of 5000 addresses I would say it is
a
far better deal to go with one of the email newsletter companies. Having tried
several I can highly recommend mailchimp
+1 for Mail Chimp. I was preparing to post about this but Robert did
a better job of explaining than I could. I never use anything but
Mail Chimp for bulk mail sends.

an easy way to validate a mail list, but the steps I detailed are a valid

Dave,
A) What is the error. Fixing the error will keep your loop going.
B) Using a try/catch INSIDE the loop will allow you to keep it going - with
the caveat that you will miss whatever email throws the error so you might
want to log that inside the catch.

You may want to add a cftry/cfcatch (around the cfmail block) so when
the error occurs it can be handled gracefully via cfcatch (like tagging
the recipient record as having a bad address) and the loop will keep
going - valid recipients get their mail and the others can be cleansed
from the
