John, It can be hard a times to work out what could be causing the problem, and it sounds like it might be the mail server by what you are saying below. So there is a few things you can do, depending on what version of ColdFusion you are on.
But you could write your own logger, or use cflog, to maybe create your own log file in a folder you have access to. The idea is to confirm if the code is running, so by logging entry and exit you could pretty much say the schedule is running ok, as the hosting provider is saying. Another tip is you could create a page that emails, dummy info to the same email and from the same email to see if that page is sending an email. As a starting point, at least with the email being sent manually you can say to the hosting provider here is the time and date I tried to send it. They can check the mail logs to see if the server has rejected it or not, or some other problem exists. -- Regards, Andrew Scott WebSite: http://www.andyscott.id.au/ Google+: http://plus.google.com/113032480415921517411<http://plus.google.com/108193156965451149543> On Mon, Oct 22, 2012 at 12:13 AM, John Barrett <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Andrew, > thanks so much for your reply! > The hosting company asked me to create the output file to see if it was > the schedule task or the mail server that was the problem.
