Howdy --
I've been having a very frustrating time with the CF 4.5 mail spooler
since I wrote my first app a few weeks ago that sends out bursts of
large volumes of e-mail.
I have a choice of two outgoing SMTP servers I can direct the spooler
to, and I'm getting the same problem with either one. After processing
a burst of anywhere from a few dozen to two or three hundred messages,
the spooler hangs on trying to deliver the next message to the SMTP
server and ultimately reports a time-out message in
cfusion\log\mail.log. All remaining messages are then moved from
cfusion\mail\spool to cfusion\mail\undelivr and the spooler notes a log
entry for each one, saying it can't send it until "pending mail
operations are completed."
I've tried *EVERYTHING* to fix this. I've tried moving the messages
from undelivr back to spool. No dice, they just get moved back to
undelivr with the same damn entries dumped into the log. I've tried
cycling CF. No dice. Hell, I've tried *rebooting*. No dice. Like I
said above, I tried switching SMTP servers. No dice. I've gone into
the Allaire\Cold Fusion\CurrentVersion\Mail key in the registry and
changed the ReuseOpenConnection setting from default 1 to 0. No dice
(so I set it back to 1). I deduced from the registry that CF is using
dart.com's Internet connectivity package (dart.dll) to talk to the SMTP
server. Is this a bug in dart.dll?
And the absolute damndest thing of all is that every day or two, as I
happen to be tinkering around with this problem, all of a sudden it'll
start working again and process another couple hundred or so messages
before hanging again. For the life of me, I can't figure out any
pattern to this (i.e., what the hell I'm doing to get it working again).
I'm *sorely* tempted to junk CFMAIL and the CF spooler and switch to
anything that'll talk directly to the SMTP server, like fuseware.com's
CFX_Mail2, except then my templates will have to hang around actively
executing for as long as it takes the SMTP server to respond, and so you
start complicating the picture with template timeout issues, etc. etc.
etc. Technically, it's a lot cleaner solution to use the spooler, but I
need a spooler that works!
Does anybody have any advice? I've just downloaded the 4.5.1 update but
I can't find the release notes anywhere so I can't tell if 4.5.1 fixes
this or not.
TIA,
