I've discovered that a major reason for failed emails is a bad email
address.
One thing that I do to fix this is to use the IsEmail tag right before
CFMail to validate the email address. If the address fails the IsEmail test
I use a backup return address or don't send the message, whichever is
appropriate.

Subject: CFMail handling
We are having issues with the way that CF Server is handling CFMail
generated email. Email is not getting sent. And, occassionally, the CF
Server will choke on a (I can only assume) malformed email so that it is
sucking 50% CPU utilization and will not send any other mail. We are running
a custom tag that moves mail from the undelivr directory to the spool
directory, and while this has worked in the past, it seems to have reached
the end of its usefulness. I have almost a full megs worth of email on one
server that is getting shuffled back and forth without going anywhere. And I
don't see it choking on anything.
Does anyone have any tips or ideas on how we can avoid these email issues?
