Hey Tom! I think everyone's missed one detail here. Ryan... You said that you found a file in the spool that was causing this problem... Was is zero bytes? If not, this is a different problem. You said you "copied" the undeliverable message from the undelivr folder into the spool? Did you rename it? What if it failed to get delivered again (CF probably checks the spool at service startup), it fails again, and when CF tries to move the file into the undelivr folder, whoops, a file by that name already exists. Wonder how CF handles this internally? If it doesn't know to rename the file perhaps it just freaks out and blows chunks? I don't have a Linux install handy, but it would be easy enough to try a test case... Just copy (not move) a message from undelivr into spool and see what happens. -Cameron -------------------- Cameron Childress elliptIQ Inc. p.770.460.1035.232 f.770.460.0963 -- http://www.neighborware.com America's Leading Community Network Software > -----Original Message----- > From: Tom Jordahl [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, December 13, 2001 4:56 PM > To: CF-Linux > Subject: RE: Cold Fusion keeps restarting, help! > > > Ryan, Tim, > > Send the offending mail spool file along with a bug report to > Macromedia technical support.
