Mark, In answer to your idea of dropping cfmail altogether for a better alternative, you could simply compose your emails manually (with some script of course) and drop them directly into the spool directory of your MTA using cffile.
I've done this before on a Windows/Imail combo a few years ago when cfmail simply did not cut it on CF4.x. I'm not yet up to scratch on linux MTA's to be able to give you precise instructions, but I'm sure it's fairly straightforward providing you compose your email with the correct headers etc. Thereafter it's simply a matter of finding out where the spool/queue is of your preferred MTA (sendmail,exim,etc).
