If you stop CF, remove all of the mail from the spool directory, can you verify your mail server connection in CF admin? If not, put in the cf5 disk and select repair. Yes, just because you get the error message trying to verify, you can still send mail. I have just spent four days with Macromedia tech on trying to resolve this 0byte issue on one of my servers, and we never found the problem. Finally I had to get the machine up and just did a repair, everything is fine now. Something else to watch out for, if you mail spool is locked, you can not index either, and once your index fails, then your collection is messed up too. You get an error, can't find batchFilename. Weird how cfmail and cfindex would cross paths, never did get an answer on that. Hope this helps.

As I understand it, there was a bug in cf 5 that created a 0 byte size file. This could give the symptoms you described. Have you applied the hot fixes that Dave mentioned? http://www.allaire.com/Handlers/index.cfm?ID=20371&Method=Full I would move all the files (except spool.ini) into another folder (undeliverable directory). See if that clears up the problems. Then, move them back into the spool directory a few at a time. I've heard of 1k files hanging things as well. Not all 1k files mind you as many normal mail files are 1k in size. If you hang again, keep moving files out and back in to see if you can narrow down the file causing the problem. After you find it, I would open it to see if you can tell what's wrong with it.

Thanks Stephen, There are about 13 files in that folder, but all of them are 1k in size. I will apply the patch tomorrow on the server to see what happens. By checking the file size, were you looking for a mail spool that was taking up 99% of the resources because it was trying to send something and stuck in a send loop or something? Here is a question about folder permissions. We run windows 2000 server. The permissions for the folders used by coldfusion (customtags, cfx, etc) should be enabled for anonymous internet users, right? What is a general direction for setting up folder permissions in a CF5/Windows 2000 Server setting (I know how to change permissions/share folders etc... but I don't know which folders should be shared/permissions set, and in what manner). Thanks again all, Noah -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Kellogg [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, September 30, 2001 12:41 PM To: CF-Server Subject: RE: Totally lame CF erros are killin me! Noah, do you have a 0 byte size file (other than spool.ini which shouldn't be 0 byte) in the \CFUSION\MAIL\SPOOL directory? If so, delete (or move) it. Also, the TagCFMail::sendMessage error was a problem in 4.5.1. Look here to see if any of the information applies to your situation: http://www.allaire.com/Handlers/index.cfm?ID=15821&Method=Full Also, take a look at the following link as well: http://forums.allaire.com/coldfusion/messageview.cfm?catid=11&threadid=22317 9&highlight_key=y&keyword1=TagCFMail%3A%3AsendMessage watch the wrap on those links.

Yeah, perfmon is showing nothing. No internet users, no database connections, nothing. CFServer must be looking for something internal, because the it goes to 99% about .5 seconds after I start coldfusion server. It's weird. -----Original Message----- From: Michels, Matt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, September 30, 2001 11:04 AM To: 'Noah '; 'CF-Server ' Subject: RE: Totally lame CF erros are killin me! Some other things to check. When this happens, what does perfmon look like? Do you have any running requests at all when the cfserver process spikes the CPU? Any CF scheduled tasks running at this time? Matt -----Original Message----- From: Noah To: CF-Server Sent: 9/30/01 5:08 AM Subject: Totally lame CF erros are killin me! Nimda messed up our web server. Reformatted drive, installed CF5 on windows 2000 server. Everything was working fine for 2 days. Now Task Manager is saying 100% of the server's processor is being used (99% on cfserver.exe), and there isn't even any requests coming in from browsers. There a few articles online that talk about the error message, but nothing has been of help. Error Message: Request canceled or ignored by serverServer busy or unable to fulfill request. The server is unable to fulfill your request due to extremely high traffic or an unexpected internal error. Please attempt your request again (if you are repeatedly unsuccessful you should notify the site administrator). (Location Code: 26) Also for some reason cfmail is not working on all of our sites. It was working fine before. Error Message: unknown exception condition TagCFMail::sendMessage The error occurred while processing an element with a general identifier of (CFMAIL), occupying document position (21:1) to (23:46) in the template file E:\BCISWEB\IRRES\MAIL.CFM.

When we stop ColdFusion services, our CPU resources go back to normal We have stopped our IIS services, and the cfserver.exe file is still using 99% of our CPU resources 2.. We have tested all of our database connections, they all verify 3.. We have looked on-line an have had no luck with either Knowledge Base or the Forums 4.. We have checked ColdFusion Administrator, and CFFILE tag and CFMAIL tag are 'enabled.' 5.. Finally we have looked at the ColdFusion Log files and could not find the problem.
